Maggie Dances
Sep 3rd, 2009 by Bethany
Maggie has been twirling all day. Dancing, twirling, and singing to herself. Earlier this afternoon while she twirled, I said something like “I love your dancing Maggie!” And she countered “NO! I’m not dancing. I’m just going to go in circles for a minute.” Okay Maggie, you’re just going in circles.
I need to remember that puzzles do almost as much good in terms of babysitting Degen and Maggie for me as TV. Only a little messier. But less guilt!
Heidi ate baby food peas today for the first time. She wasn’t quite as excited about them as she was about the squash, but pondered the first bite for a minute or two before resuming her scream-before-each-bite routine. She’s having a little more trouble eating people food than I recall with my older two. She shakes in excited anticipation of each bite and will only open her mouth for a millisecond for me to put the spoon in, I can only assume because she thinks I’m going to take the food out of her mouth before she gets to swallow it. One big plus this time around–Sonja has her trained to ignore the bib, where my other two tore them from their necks as quickly as I could put them on. Saves me a lot of grubbiness.
I love Maggie! She’s totally my glasses friend. I love that she has music in her bones and just lets it all out and sings and dances to her hearts content. Cute cute Maggie!
