Snow Days

So, everybody knows it's been cold as a blankety blank in a blanken blank right? And we all know how this affects our adult cabin fever right? Can I just say, that it's got to be ten times worse for little kids? Especially little kids that love to be outside?Maya sometimes cries because she can't go outside. When it's below zero, there's not much we can do. But here are some pictures of her first time really playing in the snow. She loved it and really wanted to go sledding!

She couldn't figure out how snow sticks to her mittens and it was like she was saying, "How does it stick to my mitten?"
"It's still there!"
"What the?, it's still there?"


In other Maya news, she's gotten really into imaginative play and uses Mommy and Daddy (leads us by the hand) as her subjects in these play times. ("Dadda, sleep now.") One of her favorite games, no joke, she made it up herself, is "Hide and Go Boo." We hide, and she comes and finds us and we jump out saying "boo!") There's nothing cuter than having a little girl grab you by the hand and say, "Hide and Go Boo Mamma?" She loves aggressive physical play, horsey rides, wrestling, tickling,chasing, she laughs and laughs.

She's stopped being obsessed with tv! She'd rather play! (Still loves Sesame Street and Yo Gabba Gabba, but the figures and stuffed animals she has are her replacement for watching hours of the shows.)

She still has this amazing vocabulary and uses long sentences. It's also equally adorable to hear long sentences with that little voice. ("Grandma's coming to get me. She's gonna get me.") And she's ultra adorably polite. "Thank you, Dadda." "Your welcome, but I'm not Dadda I'm Momma." "Pease, more Mamma Dadda?"

She has so far, successfully used her potty three times. She'll just ask to sit on it, (I go poopie.") and peed all three times. She loves the part when you flush it, she says "bye bye poopie" cause one time her cousin Lili went on the potty and said that. She also likes to sit on her potty and make farting noises thanks to her daddy's readings of her books about pottying. Actors. Even when reading books about using the potty, they're still acting.
