This whole issue has been exacerbated by Kira’s height (she’s about 41 inches), which leaves her unable to reach refrigerator/pantry shelves and the counter without a chair or stool. This means I make all her snacks/food (and the whole “wiping” issue went a little longer than it probably should have because she still perches precariously on the toilet : ). But the other day, she was talking to a friend of the same age on the phone with the speakerphone on, and Kira asked what she was doing. “I’m making a sandwich!” said her friend happily (the youngest of six). It totally woke me up, and I realized that the problem is with me, not her. So, I’m reorganizing some shelves, and we’re doing some food prep training and getting a few chores assigned, and I am determined to approach this school year differently in terms of backpack, homework, etc. We’ll see how it goes!
