I forgot to post this and it makes me laugh...

A while back Maya was watching 'Little Einsteins' and they were looking for a big ship. All of a sudden I hear her shout "Where's the big shit, where's the big shit!"

Maya calls Cheerios, "yeerios" and I think it is too cute.

Last week she told me "Pretty dress mommy, you look pretty." I never want to forget that feeling when she said that, I felt so pretty. :)

From 2 to 12, the other day Maya yelled "Mom! Come here now!" Where did my baby go? Luckily she only said Mom, once. After that I was Mommy again.

Bead for Life

Over the past year I have changed how I shop for gifts. I want gifts that are meaningful to the receiver. But I also want gifts that make a difference. A gift that improves the life of the maker. Or a gift that can be recycled, gifts that won't just be disposed. Bead for Life falls into the 'improves the life of the maker' category. I am in love with the concept and the beads. Basically in 2004 the founders connected women in deep poverty who make paper beads with a market for them. This has dramatically changed the life for these bead makers. The bead makers live in Uganda. Many of the bead makers were homeless before bead for life. They worked, they just did not have a place to live. Some lived under trees, and when it rained they would run for shelter with their children. Now with Bead for Life they are building their own homes. http://www.beadforlife.org/index.html

So recently she has taken to wearing her swimsuit around the house. It is still very winter here. At first she called it her 'space suit', I did correct her and now she says swimsuit, but I wish I would not have corrected her. Space suit made me laugh.

Maya has quoted her first movie. She loves loves loves the movie Cars. She says 'I'm not a Mack, I Peterbilt' and I love it :)

A couple of weeks ago I said 'oopsiedasiey' to Maya. I don't even know why I said it. Shortly after that she said 'oopsiegoofy' and 'oopsiemickey.'

Just as I thought...

I was afraid I would not keep up with this blog. I will try a little harder. I do want to keep track of the funny things that Maya does or says.

On Thanksgiving we went to my Aunt's house for lunch and to celebrate. My aunt has these 2 wonderful old pots sitting at the start of her walk way. They have been there for years. Maya runs right to them and declares "Honey pots!!" She is obsessed with everything "Tigger and Pooh bear."

Today is the day.

The US elects a new President. I am nervous now, waiting for results. Will the guy that I voted for win? Will life here in the US change? Will I get new taxes? What I do think is soooo important is that everyone who is eligible should vote, no excuses your vote does matter!!
I voted today and I am grateful for the chance to vote :)
