Personality.


Her referral only mentioned one word to describe her 
personality - active. 
That's all we knew about our little girl. 

Then, we met her and she was not active and had no personality. She was not silly, she did not dance or hop, she didn't giggle or smile spontaneously. We could tell she was a sweet girl and smart, but that was about it.  We couldn't wait until the day that Maggie showed us her real personality.


And boy does she have some !
  
Silly sometimes.


 Quiet and contemplative.


 A wild dancer.




A melt your heart sweetie.


And bubbly and happy.

I think she has personality now. 
 It just took a little bit for us to see it and for her to show us.
It is amazing what the love of a family can do in the life of a child.

The Pizza man.

          The pizza delivery man was just leaving and we were about to close the front door. Suddenly, Maggie ran outside to catch the pizza guy. She had something very important to say !  She yelled from the front porch " Happy Jingle, have a merry jingle, um, I mean, have a merry Christmas ! Merry Christmas !"  We hope you all had a very merry Christmas too !!

Big Milestone !

We're celebrating ! Because Maggie is potty trained !!! For reals.  I started potty training Maggie way back in the summer, but I was not consistent at all.  So, I kind of gave up.  Then, Maggie started a new school and her teacher is known as the "potty whisperer".  Seriously. She is known to magically transform little ones from diapers to potty in just a week. And so she did. It took about a week for her to start going potty. She is even sleeping in her big girl panties - no pull ups - and no accidents at night. We are all so proud of her !  I think Maggie is pretty proud of herself too !
