Maggie - age 3!

Some things I want to remember about Maggie at this age:

• loves to dance
• loves to play babies
• loves to read books
• loves to dress up
• loves gum
• loves playing babies
• loves dessert and all forms of candy (especially hot tamales)
• loves purses and packing items into her purses - we often find missing things stashed away in one of maggie's purses
• always wears accessories to church and school
• enjoys singing
• went to her first show in a theatre - Tangled and loved it...sat on my lap without complaint the entire movie
• was a pill to potty train...but now is successfully potty trained...
• maggie was having teetee accidents every day for about 10 days...nothing was working. Finally I made her wear pants (NO DRESSES ALLOWED) until she could make it through a day without an accident. Punishment with pants worked wonders! She was back in a dress in no time.
• likes to give kisses on the lips
• loves to play with her big sister - especially barbies and dress up
• is very good at sharing
• does not transition well
• refuses to nap and does not like rest time either
• has a VERY strong attachment to her paci and square
• Loves to eat oatmeal for breakfast which she calls "hot cereal"
• Loves apple juice
• edamame is her favorite green vegetable
• has an entire imaginary family consisting of 2 brothers - Jack and Emerson, 2 daughters - Floppy and Caroline who are constantly popping in and out of her tummy, her "other" mommy and her "other" daddy
• maggie says her other mommy looks like princess Jazmin
• loves having friends over
• loves starbucks - especially their donuts
• likes to play inside more than outside
• still talks about "our Montreal house"
• loves to snuggle
• loves to be tickled
• loves to tickle other people - but she usually ends up scratching
• does not like wearing a coat
• refuses to wear anything except dresses - every morning asks "mommy, will you please put me in a pretty dress"...she does not quit asking until she is in one...and will occasionally take matters into her own hands.
• She is also very opinionated about mommy's clothes. She only wants me to wear dresses with my hair down.

• is starting to talk about the parts of a book - I love it when she makes up a  name and says "they are the awfuls" - (aka - author).
• prefers boots over shoes...usually removes all shoes/boots as soon as she comes inside...she is not afraid to walk around our freezing house in bare feet and a short sleeve dress.
• often talks about how she has a husband or that she just got married last night. She occasionally refers to the husband as Brandon.

Our sweet 3 year old is always making us laugh and making her big sister role her eyes!
