Who you callin’ poopyhead?

Here’s a pretty good one, in the ‘kids say funny things’ vein:
The three of us were getting ready for dinner, to include Maggie climbing up into her height chair. On her way up, she told Erin she was a ‘poopyhead.’ Erin responded by asking her what she was. Maggie said, “I an angel!”
We have only […]
Going to the Potty

We have ventured into our second phase of potty training. One of Maggie’s teachers at school said she should be ready in a couple weeks to stop wearing diapers/pull-ups and start wearing underwear. Sherry said she goes to the bathroom regularly at school and stays dry most of the day. Of course, she should still […]

We’ve had a breakthrough of astounding proportions: MAGGIE WENT POOP ON THE POTTY–TWICE!!! Her modus operandi is to go into the bathroom where her potty seat is, strip down, put her diaper in the trash, position her stool in front of the toilet, climb up, and pooped. She did this twice today, after we had […]

Maggie has entered another phase, that of relentlessly presenting the same question despite being given the answer early on in the series. The most frequent questions are, “Where going?” (translation–”Where are we going?”) and “Doing?” (translation–”What are you doing?”). Seriously, she will ask ten times in one minute and there’s no getting her to stop. […]

Something kind of bizarre happened today. Maggie has grown to the point, in both her height and finger dexterity, that she can open our front and back doors. Her speaking ability has also grown by leaps and bounds of late. Lastly, her characteristic independence has done nothing but become more pronounced. All three of these […]

We will soon enter into a new era, that of the two year old. Other things about this are a whole lot more important but the thought occurred to me that some out there might want to know what Maggie wants for her birthday. To make it easy, I have put a link over to […]

Maggie got her first fat lip this weekend. She fell down on the playground equipment and bounced her face off of it. Her Mama laughed at her when we returned home; supposedly, it’s a defense mechanism but I don’t believe it.
Please ignore the snot–it’s not the point of the picture.
Dancin’ fool

Remember when Erin mentioned Maggie dancing? Well, we thought you might appreciate seeing the future international dance star in action. The tune is “Itsy-Bitsy Spider” from that same CD. The really cool thing is that, to our knowledge, no one has shown here how to ‘dance’–she just sort came up with it on her own…yes, […]

Well, I guess we have arrived. That’s right–we are now residents of ‘terrible twos’ land and boy, is the weather bad. Obviously, Maggie won’t actually be two years old for another few months but if there is any truth to the idea of the terrible twos, she sure is evidence of it.
Everything–and I mean EVERYTHING–is […]

Last night after Maggie’s bath, she was full of energy. We usually let her run around the house naked after her bath becuase she truly enjoys it. She will run through the house giggling trying to get away with not having to put on any clothes. Last night while Jason was watching Criminal Minds I […]
