life with a toddler: socks

Yui was trying to reason her way out of putting on her socks by herself this morning. Me (for the nth time): Yui put on your socks. 

Yui: Mommy mo sokoshi dekiru yo (Mommy, with just a little bit of effort you can do it)

We were already about to be late for the bus so I eventually had to put her socks on her. 

Yui: Mommy, dekita ne. Jouzu (see Mommy, you can do it! Good job!)
