Likes/Dislikes: Maggie is our little dancer and we die over how into it she gets. She definitely has more rhythm than her sister, but some of her dance moves are a little questionable :) We started having little dance parties before bed to drain some energy and it is so funny watching the two of them. She continues to love baby dolls, dressing up, Frozen, Minnie Mouse and playing with Emma. Maggie really dislikes getting dressed when she's not ready, putting coats on or having her hair done. It's like wrestling an alligator sometimes to get her coat on. I think if she could wear pajamas and have her hair disheveled all day, she would. Personal space is still something Maggie values, so watch out if she is in a mood and you are invading her boundaries. *cough* Emma, Chloe and Rylee *cough*
Development: I think (and fear) we may have started entering the early stages of the terrible twos with Mags. She has been refusing to get dressed or put coat/hat on and just throws a fit while throwing her body around. She's been bringing on more meltdowns and telling us "no" or "nope" a lot. She's also mastered crying that then results in laughing. Everything is funny to her. She can count to ten, and may only skip one or two numbers. And her ABC's - oh man, I love listening to her sing them. She gets the tune and skips a few letters, but I say she gets over half of them. Matt and I were able to get a full weekend alone with Maggie last week and kept talking how much more talkative and funny she was 1:1. Matt said he thinks Emma may suppress her and so she was relishing in the attention.
Sleeping: Bedtime has been closer to 7 p.m. as of late and waking up anywhere between 6:15-7:00 a.m. (except today when it was 5:45!). Trying to cut her from her morning nap, but that has been a struggle lately. She doesn't take morning naps at our house or Miss Amanda's, but does at my mom's. Taking good afternoon naps too.
Eating: Maggie is loving feeding herself things a spoon like oatmeal, cereal, soup and yogurt. She grew frustrated seeing big sister be able to do it, but after a couple messy tries, she is now fairly neat about it.
