Random kid update

There are some interesting things that Maggie does lately. These are a few of my favorites...
She loves to blow her nose. She has actually been doing that for a long time but it's weird that she can even do it at this age. Not only does she blow her nose but she likes to use it as an excuse for trying to empty a tissue box. When we catch her getting a tissue she fakes needing to blow her nose as justification. Tonight a pediatrician friend confirmed she's exceptional. :)

One thing will always distract her no matter what...she always wants to brush her teeth. She wants nothing more than some training toothpaste and to stand on the bathroom stool brushing away. She also likes to watch herself in the mirror. The problem is that you have to wrestle the toothbrush away from her when you are ready for her to be done.

She is talking some. Mostly just when she feels like it. She will randomly say a word. For instance she said pumpkin the other day when actually pointing at a pumpkin. However she won't say mom or dad most of the time. She is clearly an independent thinker :)

And a super sweet moment we have experienced at dinner several times lately. We all sit down to eat and with no prompting Maggie reaches both hands out waiting for us to take her hands and say the blessing. Sometimes she is so sweet you just want to eat her up.
