It's a good thing she's cute!

Lately I have been taking pictures of the naughty things Maya has been doing. Usually, I am just upset and clean it up, but I am realizing that I laugh about these things later. One thing that I need to take a picture of is what we do to her diapers before nap and bedtime. She is always taking her diaper off when she needs a diaper change and she started taking her diapers off when she'd go to bed. (I know she needs to be potty trained, but I'm waiting another month at least) She would never wet the bed for her naps, but in the night if her diaper was off she'd wake up in the middle of the night crying because all of her bedding was wet. So, we now duct tape the straps of her diaper so she can't get it off! The morning after we tried it for the first time, I got her out of bed and she pointed to the duct tape and said in a sad voice, "Daddy did it." She's a funny one indeed, and I finally feel like I'm figuring her out. We're getting along much better!These two pictures above are of Maya's attempt at a pedicure. I was putting my make up on, and left the bathroom for no longer than a minute to check on Hayden outside and Maya painted her toe nails. When I came back in, she knew she was in trouble, so she just said, "Look, Mom! Pretty!" Well, they were pretty. She didn't do too bad of a job, actually! And she didn't spill any!


And these two...I was on the phone with Eric for about a minute. Ah! And you're going to laugh. She just did it again as I'm sitting her typing. She got into my scrapbooking stuff and took out the ink and put it all over her face. I cried and laughed at the same time. It was funny, but I was thinking she was going to look like she had a beard for weeks. Luckily, it all came off with rubbing alcohol.

It's a good thing I love this girl!

Mustard?...

A few weeks ago, I made some homemade pizza (sauce, crust and all--you need this recipe!) for dinner. Hayden's job is to set the table and this particular night, Maya decided to help. Her contribution was mustard, taco sauce and butter spray. How thoughtful of her! You never know who might want some mustard to go with their pizza.One of my favorite lines from Alice in Wonderland came to mind as I saw the mustard on the table.
