Miss Maia

Maia is a funy girl. She makes up names. She sometimes calls me "Mamanee" or she'll call our cat Hippie "Hipdip" or "Hippity" or our other cat "Shilo bo bo". Mais loves laughing and being tickled and getting "raspberries" on her tummy.
She is very headstrong. She loves to do things by herself. Sometimes, if we try to do something for her, she will get mad and demand to do it all over again, this time by herself.
She loves to try new things, like climbing a jungle gym.
She also loves some vegetables. She will go through phases where she loves a certain vegetable, like broccoli. Last night, we had a salad of field greens and herbs and after she ate a few bites, she exclaimed, "Hey, we're eatin' leaves!"
She has a temper sometimes, too. If we tell her "no" to something, she might throw something or scream or run off with her hands over her face.
She loves going to Kids Korner daycare. Her 2 best friends there are Drew Walker and Alexandra. She especially loves Alexandra.
Lately, she has been playing with her dress up clothes a lot. She will get all dressed up and accessorized and she'll say "look at me!" and then she'll go admire herself in the mirror.
Maia has a very tender, loving side, too. She loves hugs and kisses and eskimo kisses, too.
If she sees that we have an "owie", she will be very concerned about it.
She has such a beautiful soul.
We love her with every ounce of our beings.
