Maya Mayhem

Today while watching Winne the Pooh, Maya commented on Tigger bouncing. I said, 'can you bounce?' Maya replied, 'No I don't have a tail like Tigger.' I said something about Tigger also using his feet and she could bounce on her feet. She then said 'No, I don't have stripes' very matter of fact like.

Quinn is 4 weeks old today. I thought time went fast with Maya. I use to think I was busy when I was a Mom to one child. Time please slow down, life is to fast right now. I will post pictures soon.

Random thoughts

Quinn has been here 3 weeks now with us. While I love her to pieces I do not want anymore babies. Last night she was fussy from 9pm to 1am.... it was a long night. I should mention that this was the 2nd night of fussing. I am just very tired.

Maya seems to be adjusting fairly well to Quinn. She does not like the crying but other than that she is very sweet to Quinn. She holds her every day and brings her toys.

I have lots of names for Maya... sweetums, babe, pumpkin, sweetie pie and love bug. Babe came about a few months ago when I decided to stop calling her my baby... because of the baby on the way. The other day I called her 'babe.' She looked right at me and said 'I am not babe, I am sweetie pie.'

This morning we were watching Ratatouille. Maya got excited at the part where the rats have a little party. I asked her if this was a favorite part of the movie and she said 'stop talking.'

Today Maya was on the swing and her hair bow was falling out. She was holding it to her head and singing 'Don't fly away bow! Don't fly away bow!' So I said it back to her and she replied 'Hey that is my line!'

Last night after my shower I sat down on the bed. I must have been a little wet because I left a spot on the sheets. Maya saw the wet spot. She came to me and said 'you peed the bed!!' then went on and said 'accidents happen, next time use the potty.'

This week my took her little sensory ball with rubber hair to bed and called it her pet. She tucked it in. I asked her what the pet's name was and she said 'pet.' The next day she carried it by the hair and announced she was taking it for a walk.

Children's Lit and the summer reading program

“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally worth reading at the age of fifty.” From CS Lewis. I like this quote and the last time I saw it was at simplemom.net.
I enjoy reading almost all of Maya's books and if I don't enjoy the book I usually 'hide' it or get rid of it.

I recently signed Maya up for the summer reading program at our library. My goal is to read 100 new books this summer to her. I love the library, seriously in the last year if I tried to buy all of the books we have read I would have spent over a thousand dollars. We already have a great start, here are a few of our favs from the library right now:
In a Blue Room
Betsy B. Little
How I Became a Pirate
Rattletrap Car

Recently I discovered simplekids.net and I found a great list of books recommended by other Moms, check it out here. I hope you have a great summer reading with your little one!

Last night we where shopping for a new piece of furniture. I was getting sleepy. Maya asked 'Mama you sleepy?' I said yes. I asked if she was sleepy. Maya said 'No!' Then she made her eyes bug out as big as she could and said 'See I not sleepy!' T and I both laughed!

I can not remember if I have blogged this... Recently when we go places Maya gets excited to get out of her car seat. After we stop she shouts 'I stuck, I stuck, I stuck!' Then she starts to kick the car door and shout 'Let me out! Let me out!' I'm sure if any body is walking buy they think we torture our kid by leaving her in her seat.

Just a little update.

I am finally feeling better. I was sick with sinus stuff. It really made me feel run down. Now I am better. I was sick for nearly 2 weeks.

We have had a bit of a potty training set back. When I was sick I did not encourage it and now she really does not want to try. Oh well... just keep trying.

Last week I took a bath with Maya at her request. Being so very pregnant I am not sure how I got in or out of the tub. It was a nice bath and I really enjoyed the time with her and I think she really liked the attention.

We planted herbs and veggies this weekend. Hopefully I can make them grow.
