I didn’t take this picture, but I found it in my camera after visiting my Dad’s house this past August.
Grandpa and Maggie

Maggie’s teachers have asked us – more than once – if Maggie speaks at home. You’re kidding me, right? We can’t get her to stop talking. Or singing. Or just babbling.
Apparently, she speaks not a word at school. Not a single one. If she wants something she grunts for it (oy). I asked Mrs. Teacher if she was telling Maggie to use her words…(silly question, I know.)
One afternoon Mrs. Teacher told me that they witnessed Maggie going into one of the play structures they have outside and then babbling away. When she came back out, she was completely silent again.
And she only told me this story after showing surprise (“She does talk!”) when Maggie answered my question of who was in the picture she was coloring (Cookie Monster).
The people at church asked us if she ever speaks as well…
I’m baffled.

The other day I had both Logan and Maggie sitting on my lap. I wasn’t fully paying attention (probably reading blogs *blush*), but I knew in the back of my mind that Logan was bugging Maggie a bit – just climbing a little on her and such.
The next thing I know, Logan screams and starts crying. I looked at Maggie and asked what had happened. (Yes, they are on my lap and I didn’t see what happened…) Her eyes were really big and she had her hands covering her mouth…
“Maggie, did you hurt Logan?” Nothing. A quick inspection of Logan’s fingers that I knew were closest to Maggie’s mouth showed a tooth indentation. “Maggie, did you bite Logan?”
Big eye, all innocent…”No – Burke did it.” Ya. Burke is over on the other couch minding his own business, no where NEAR us.
A swift smack on the rear with the explanation of “We do not lie…and we don’t bite…but mostly we don’t lie.”
About a half hour later, I had gotten up to play on the floor with Logan, but had apparently left the TV remote over by the chair with Maggie. I hear Burke squawk because something happened to the TV. I looked up and Maggie came running over with the remote, “I did it!!”
Hmmm…lesson learned?

We had such beautiful weather yesterday, and my nanny went home sick, so I got to play out in the yard with the kids! I was lying on my stomach playing with Logan when someone took advantage of the situation. I managed to take a self portrait with my phone:

Mac & Cheese, string cheese, American cheese, yogurt. (Okay, that’s not cheese, but I’m sure it contributes.)
My not-quite-4-year-old daughter has BAAAAD breath. She brushes her teeth twice a day – we help. I even brush her tongue. No dice. I don’t want this beautiful girl to go through life making everyone pass out around her along the way…any ideas?

Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Go on over to see who else is playing – and join in too!
This one is from when Maggie was not quite 2, and not quite talking. All the way back to 2006 😉

And to match it, the video:

So, I’m a little late. Crazy day yesterday! Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one.
It’s a video this time. Maggie was just shy of turning 2 and is playing with a spinning top she got for Christmas.

Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one.
This one’s dedicated to the various ways in which Maggie used to fall to sleep. She still starts out on the floor (or wherever), but has started to tuck herself in to her own bed after about 1/2 hour goes by.

"I'm Funny!"
Filed under: FFFF, Maggie | 7 Comments »
Maggie says this to me throughout the day: when I’m carrying her down the stairs, when I’m brushing her hair, if I’m about to tip something – or someone – over…
Each time she says it, it cracks me up – cuz I’d love to be purple for a day! And it’s one of her favorite colors (right there after pink – whose girly girl is this??), so how cool would it be to turn the favorite color of one of your kids (for a day, anyway)?
What she’s REALLY trying to say to me is what we say to her all day long: “Be careful, Mommy.” I love this colorful (pun intended) reminder to me – especially since she says it at the appropriate times.
So, yes, dear Maggie. I will be purple.
