A great week. We just played and went to the pool and hung out with friends and cooked and read and generally had just a good low-key week. She was in time-out 3 times before lunch one day, but that was for infractions like "If you do that one more time, you have to go to time out. Understand? Okay then, time out." So she's testing what boundaries are real and so forth. But all in all she's paying attention and listening and all that good sort of stuff. Oh yeah, and there was the one time when she got bored in the car and gagged herself for giggles. She was surprised by the result, I think. And didn't much appreciate being hosed down in the shower. Hopefully that will teach the lesson itself.
I love this video for several reasons: 1)It demonstrates how incredibly well Maggie knows her US geography. She can do this with almost all 50 states, by the way. I look at the "ages 5 and up" scrawled across the top of the puzzle and wonder what we're going to be doing when she's in kindergarten. Electrical circuits and simple machines? 2)She loves this dress. It's her favorite. She asks to wear it every day. Laundry twice a week plus using clothes two days in a row equals wearing this dress half the week. 3)How quickly can we change gears? Puzzle puzzle states states states I have to poop. Go go go!
