Sorry I haven’t been seen nor heard from on this blog lately. I’m taking an online class and it’s eating up most of my time. The remaining time is eaten up by my child. She has a voracious appetite for my time.
Speaking of my child, she’s one now! Her birthday was this past Saturday and let me tell you, I couldn’t imagine a more radiant or lovable little girl than mine.
Here are some of her many traits and talents:
1. She says “What is that?” in a whisper. Constantly. I have no idea why she always whispers it, but it’s very cute.
2. She dances the standard baby dance (head bobbing, knees bending. If an adult danced like a baby does, that adult would look like an idiot, but it works for small children).
3. She nurtures her children, which include Zebo the Zebra and the water baby. She rocks them, sings to them, gives them baths, etc.
4. She claps her hands and says, “Yayyyy…”
5. She pretends. She pretends to drink tea out of her tea set or eat out of her play spoons. She even feeds Zebo and the water baby sometimes.
6. She likes to bend over so her head touches the ground and her butt is sticking up in the air. I don’t know why she does this, but it’s endearingly goofy.
7. She has 11 (ELEVEN) teeth in various stages of growth.
9. She can do a few animal sounds: doggy, kitty, horsey, piggy.
10. She communicates hunger as follows: she makes the sign for more and then when asked if she is hungry, nods her head exaggeratedly and points to her mouth.
11. I was only going to do ten of these, but I remembered a really important one. She is a GREAT sleeper. Currently, she takes three naps AND sleeps through the night.
There are many more wonderful things about her, but she is napping and I have homework to get done before she wakes up.
Happy birthday, Maggie!
