Maggie

Seriously this girl is always cracking me up.  I have been wanting to write a post dedicated to her lately because I feel like she gets a little lost among the boys in this house.  She never makes my day boring and she never runs out of things to talk about.  (Seriously sometimes I have to tune her out!!) Lately, she has been really motherly with her baby Fischer and I found her "nursing" her with my hooter hider.  I was dying and had to take a picture of that!  I think having Peter around has brought out her motherly instinct.  She is really good with him too.  She is always repeating what I am saying to him in her high pitched voice.  It is really sweet!!!  She is still doing ballet/tap and they are just starting their routine for the big recital in June.  I downloaded the song and when I play it she does the dance for me.  It is really cute.  The look she gets on her face is priceless.  So much concentration.  School is going really well.  She seems to like it a lot.  She has a main Teacher, Mrs. Nickell and the aid Mrs. Poole.  The other day at Costco she told me out of the blue that Mrs. Nickell is the teacher and Mrs. Poole give the snacks.  It totally cracked me up.  She does this little crooked smile out of the side of her mouth and giggles.  Matthew is my independent kiddo.  He can go play on his own for hours and has always been like that.  Maggie on the other hand, likes to know you are close to her.  She wants to play by herself but she wants you right there next to her.  Lately, her new thing has been doing my hair.  It is quite funny and I will try and get a picture of it.  She still loves to dress herself and the other morning I totally overslept and she came in all dressed for school asking when we were going to get up.  I love that about her.  She just gets up and gets ready!  Most days, when I don't oversleep, I will try to help her and she will say "I need my privacy please" REALLY?!  She was a hard pregnancy but knowing her now, I understand.  She is my unique, spirited, smart, sweet girl and I wouldn't change one thing about her.  Even her eyesight.  Her glasses are so adorable on her and are part of her spunky personality.  Most people who meet her just love her instantly!  I sure love her a lot and I am thankful that God blessed me with her! These are some pictures from this summer...
