Maggie cute-isms

[celticdragonfly]

Okay, how we know it's genetic - Maggie's going through potty training. Yesterday, sitting on the potty in the downstairs bathroom, she looked at me and started asking "book? book?"

As soon as some of the BabyBug magazine/books get here, we're going to have to start putting those in the little bookrack that's built into the side of the potty.

Our little nurturing girl - last night I was sitting here with Jamie in my lap, and he started fussing. I hadn't figured out yet if he was hungry or wet or what - but apparently Maggie had. She picked up the boppy pillow and the burp cloth that I lay on it to catch spills, and started pushing them up in my lap. Like, "Mama, feed him!"

Just you wait until she discovers the joy of reading in the bathtub... my son, 11, has to be pried out of the bathtub about three times a day sometimes.

That could be a while - I tend to wash the babies assembly-line style, with Karl assisting on handing them in and out, and with the water running, sorta pre-shower-ish.

Brendan learned about actual water-in-the-tub when we were trying out epsom salt baths with him, which help some autistic kids. He will, when given the rare opportunity, be in the water for ages. But I wouldn't dare send a book in with him.

I wish mine would ask for a book on the potty... I used to do that, I hear!

She also takes after her godsparents, both of us have been known to read in the bathroom and/or tub
