Maya Mayhem...

This evening Maya was outside playing. She discovered Rolly Pollys. At first they freaked her out a little as all bugs do right now. After we assured her they were harmless she was very into them. The best part... she calls them Moley Moleys, like Mole with a y ending. When looking for them she would say 'Where are you Moley Moley' over and over. When it was time to head in for her bath she said 'Night Night Moley Moleys'.

Maya is into Pirates. When you ask her, what do pirates say, she will say 'Arrr Matey.' We have a book from the library that she loves right now called, Do Pirates Take Baths? From the book Maya now says, 'Walk the plank' and 'Shiver me tenders.' Yes tenders instead of timbers :)

Maya Mayhem!

We have had several successes the last few days with potty training. So far we let her lead the way... if she wants a pull up on I let her or if she wants a bare bum she has it. So far only one accident, keeping in mind she is still using her 'pink pull-ups'--she loves the pink ones :) part of the day. Saturday she pooped in the potty chair! I think we are well on our way!!

She likes spaghetti noodles, before they are cooked. Not to eat just to play with.
So today this was our conversation:

Maya: I need sghetti
Me: Okay
Maya: I need free (three)
Me: Let's count, one, two, three
Maya: oooohh, thank you mama
about 30 seconds later
Maya: I broke them!
Me: That is okay, no biggie
Maya: No biggie! I get more, free more!

...anyway we went like this for 2 more times, now there is spaghetti all over my floor.

I painted Maya's toe nails pink today for the first time, she loved it! And I love it :)

Maya did it!!!

She peed in the potty for the first time tonight! We have been casually working on this for several weeks but this is the first time to actually pee in the potty!!!

Eggcellent fun!

Maya and I have now colored 2 and a half dozen eggs for Easter. She loved it! The first time we used Dudley Egg Spinner from Wal-Mart for $5. It was fun. Easy for Maya to spin, but a little more work for me. Today we used the PAAS original egg coloring kit. She loved it! Had a blast. Putting the eggs in the dye and turning them over with the little wand...or her fingers! It was a little messy but worth it. Now I think I will buy another kit and more eggs for this weekend!

When I was a kid I loved coloring eggs. For next year I need to remember to buy several kits and at least 3-4 dozen eggs!

On Tuesdays Maya goes to school, actually Parents Day Out but we call it school. Recently she has had a terrible bout of separation anxiety so she does not want to go to school. Yesterday I had been prepping her to leave for school...talking about her having fun with her friends. She got her blanket and said 'I not go school, I tired, I take nap.'

Today, I bent over and she said 'Mooooo.'

This week we got out her tents and tunnels. She wanted me to get down on the floor and crawl through the tunnel. Not going to happen right now as I look 8 months pg. So I told her I could not fit because of the baby in my belly. She came over to me, lifted my shirt and tried to open my belly button looking for the baby. If only it was that easy!
