She's back!

Maggie's home!

After spending a week and one day staying with her Grandma, Grandpa Dennis and Amanda in Paradise, she is back home. Boy, have we missed her.

She had so much fun in Paradise. I visited her 3 times while she was there and she always had something to show me. She showed me Miley, the goat. The big spider (a freaking huge garden spider in the front yard). The chickens. Her little yellow boat in the pool.

I am so glad she had so much fun. We've decided we'll try to make this a regular thing she does every summer. I remember staying with my grandma's when I was growing up and it was always so fun. I want Maggie to have that too.

I know Grandma and Grandpa Dennis were sad to have her leave. They loved having her stay.

But I am so glad to have her back. I can't believe how hard it was to have her gone (BTW, she was gone because our AC was broken and our house was about 95 on average). I missed her so much.

But now she's back. Woo hoo!

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.
