I took Maggie in the shower with me today. Oh, she's so cute. Chasing her around, trying to get a diaper on a naked baby is truly bliss.
We visited Memaw and Gran Gene today. Maggie was so sweet. She ate like a freaking pig. We went also and had dinner at the deli my aunt works at. Maggie loves her Aunt Susie. She ate a ton of beans and lettuce. She actually turned down more ice cream and asked for more lettuce. She's a weird little kid.

Sometimes Maggie gets the giggles and it is so darn cute. I was playing the mommy's-coming-to-get-you game and she was just dying laughing. I must have done it 10 times and every single time she laughed her head off. Oh, I love that belly laugh.

I love how Maggie interprets things around her. When she sees something new and has to give it a name, it's always so interesting. We have copies of our driver's licenses hanging from our corkboard. Every time Maggie sees it she says, "Mommy taking a bath. Daddy taking a bath." I don't have any clue where that comes from but that's what she sees.

Maggie is so smart. Today I got her up, got her dressed, and fed her breakfast. While she was eating she told me, pointing to skirt,"Too tight." I checked and she was right; it was too tight. How freaking smart is that?

I still hate this.
I put her on the potty this morning. She got off and peed like right next to it. Why? I know it's not going to happen over night. I know it's a starts and stops time thing; gain ground, lose ground with overall trend going up. But good Lord, I hate this.

I hate potty training. No success. We're back to having accidents. Why, why? Potty training is evil. I could just talk to her about it when she's 8 and boom, none of this evilness.

Accidents: 2 (again, 1 was with Daddy)
Successes: 1
After she went yesterday, I was so cocky. I thought we had this thing licked but no. No, she's still learning. I am not enjoying this process.
She is pretty good at feeding herself. She also has a sort of ownership over the skill now. She won't let me help her unless it's toward the end of the meal and she's getting tired. It's pretty cute and super messy.

Even though we took Maggie's potty chair she wouldn't use it in Bryan. We kept her in diapers the whole time (about 36 hours) and she mostly just didn't go. No poop and very, very little pee.
Then when we got home and put her on her potty, she peed a ton. It took a little while but she did it. WOO HOO!!!!

Day 5 of Potty Training Boot Camp
Accidents: 1
Successes: 1
Woo hoo! I like that ratio. She only had one accident today and she was with her Daddy when it happened.
Her success was glorious. I put her on the potty and she stayed there for about 5 minutes. She finally got off and I almost didn't even check. But then I did and success. Pee-pee in the potty!!! Quite fantastic.
She's still screaming and crying when we go to the gym daycare. I don't know why. She didn't mind it in the beginning but now she seems very unhappy. They tell me she's usually fine after I leave but it really stinks to see her so upset, you know?
Other than that we've played and watched videos today. I never let Maggie watch TV so I told her if she used the potty I'd let her watch. I hate children's shows. They are truly awful. Why do children like them?
She's dancing now and it is so cute, I don't know what to do. She makes little fists and jumps around. So cute.

Day 4 of Potty Training Boot Camp
Accidents: lots, including our first poop accident
Successes: 0
This stinks. I hate this. I have nothing more to say on the subject.
Maggie isn't walking much anymore. She's started crawling around again. I'm guessing potty training and this are connected. Poor thing, she's feeling that bittersweet feeling of growing up. You want to be older, to have more independence but you also want to be a baby and be taken care of. It's a constant battle as you grow up but it's not really a choice because you will get older. I guess she's starting to feel that.
Maggie and I laid on the floor this afternoon. We had our heads right next to each other and looked at the ceiling. I would get up and she would get up and then she would ask, "Lay down mama?" And I would lay down with her again. And I loved it. I love her so much.
We had our last tumbling class of this session today. She did amazing. She held on to the bar with both hands and was able to support most of her weight. She went all the way through the obstacle course and she walked across the big balance beam with support and lots of encouragement.
I still see Maggie as my baby but days like this remind me that she's not. She really is becoming a little kid. Bittersweet is definitely the right word.
