Burke and Maggie were rough-housing playing this morning when the following conversation happened:
Maggie: MOMMY!!! Burke hit me in the head!!
Me: Well, tell him not to.
Maggie: BURKE!!! Not to!!!
Uhm…okay.

While at work, I got the following email from Mike:
Maggie is making you a present. Burke is helping. We might need more tape, by the way….
When I got home, I received the following:
At first, I didn’t know if I should open it, or if the lovely packaging was the present. But Maggie assured me that I should open it. I didn’t want to ruin the packaging that she and Burke worked so hard on, so I very carefully peeled back a little and saw that she had wrapped this:
I lovely present indeed. 🙂

Maggie’s been really into one of her books, Put Me in the Zoo.
She usually points to the little girl and calls her Maggie. And the little boy, of course, is Burke.
Lately, she’s been asking for a yellow bow. Do you know how hard it is to find a yellow bow??
Since yesterday was her birthday, I had to at least TRY…but ended up having to improvise.
She loved it.

…when you hear your 4 year old singing along to Supertramp on the radio. 🙂
Yesterday, while heading home from a Target run, I heard “Take the Long Way Home, Take the Long way Home, la la la” HAH! Go Maggie 🙂

I took Maggie for a haircut on Thursday. (She had a dentist appointment as well – poor kid was on my lap in a chair all day!) When I mentioned that we were headed for a haircut, she very firmly stated that she wanted to keep all of her hair ON, thank you very much, because she wanted to stay a little girl. LOL First, it was the headband that “made” her a little girl, and now hair.
We walked into the salon – hand in hand – with her face getting whiter, and her voice becoming non-existent. I’d like to note that this wasn’t her first haircut – and that she’s been in THIS salon, with THIS beautician before. Ms. Haircutter went to work and Maggie still had a death grip on my hand…but she relaxed a bit when she saw not one, but two other little girls getting their hair cut on either side of her (and this isn’t even a kid’s place!)
Sparkly (shorter) hair later – she’s loving looking in the mirror and realized that *phew* she’s still a little girl.

Right. As soon as you see that you know that this is exactly what I AM doing. Ah well…I figure if I write it out, I may figure it out 🙂
My conversation with Maggie this morning:
Logan and Maggie were both sitting on my lap.
Logan was putting his feet on Maggie’s legs.
Maggie: Stop TOUCHING me!
Me: He’s okay… he’s not hurting you.
Maggie: I don’t like him.
Me: What?
Maggie: I don’t like Logan.
Me: But…he’s your brother.
Maggie: No. Burke’s my brother.
Ya. We chatted a little bit about how both Logan and Burke are her brothers. I asked once or twice why she didn’t like Logan, but she pretty much ignored me and I didn’t want to push it.
So what’s going through my head?
I chatted (quietly) with Brenda about it when she got here, so Brenda asked Maggie, “Where’s your brother?” and Maggie immediately pointed to Logan…so who knows.
****EDIT**** Maggie hugged Logan while he was walking toward us this afternoon. Perhaps she was just feeling snarky this morning. 🙂

Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Go on over to see who else is playing – and join in too!
Logan’s quest to walk reminded me of when Maggie was first learning.
Behold the Magic of Duckie
She’d only let go if she had her Duckie. It had magnets in the feet so we could wrap it around her arm. Not sure why this was the magic feather, but it worked!

When I picked Maggie up from school yesterday, Mrs. Teacher made a point of letting me know that Maggie chatted the whole day!! Go Maggie 🙂 Who knew that all I’d have to do is blog about it, and the silence would end 😉

Yesterday, one of the wonderful ladies from my twins club posted a link to a site that creates personalized Christmas stories for your kids – for free! All you have to do is plug in some information, click the button, and then print it out.
So, trying to be a good mommy, I created one for each kid (there are even 3 different stories – sweet!)
Maggie LOVED her story. And even showed some comprehension! For example, on the first page of her story, it states that she was wearing a striped elf hat. We turned the page and there was a picture of a girl elf. Maggie pointed to it and said, “That’s me!” pause “But I need a striped hat.” Well! Okay then. We finished the story and then spent the rest of the evening putting stripes on all of the hats. LOL!
