We've known that Anya is very independent for quite some time now, but it usually was directed towards us (mom and dad). I've noticed lately how far her independence goes....for instance, as soon as she heard she could buy her lunch at school, that's what she wanted to do. It doesn't matter that most of the other kids bring their lunch- she wants to buy hers and that's what she does. We went to a magic show at her school the other evening and most of the kids were sitting on the floor in front of the stage. She had seen several of her classmates, but none that she was particularly friendly with. As a result, she plopped herself down on the floor in front of the stage and THAT was where she was going to sit. Didn't care one bit that none of her friends were around her and she insisted that George and Baz come sit in the back with me- and there she stayed for the entire show.
I just wish she could stand up a little more to the girls she plays house with in school.....because she's shorter and smaller than the rest of them, they always make her play "little sister" and she wants to be "mommy". I have a feeling that if they were boys, this wouldn't be an argument at all- she's smack them until they let her play whatever she wanted.
I suppose I should be happy that she only hits boys- saves us a little in discipline!
