 john -- September 5th, 2011While we were still lounging in bed, Maia surprised us by dropping into the bedroom after having spontaneously drawn this picture of the world. Not exactly accurate, with Antarctica at the north pole, but, she wasn’t copying anything as a reference. In any case, I find it fascinating that with 3 weeks in kindergarten, this [...] valerie -- August 16th, 2011Picked Maia up from school–after a little procedure (you need to let Mrs. Robinson know your mom is there from the benches outside the room) the first thing Maia said was: “Mom, I didn’t get to eat my lunch because I couldn’t open it.” And the second thing was a stream of how much fun [...] valerie -- August 16th, 2011It’s official. Maia is a full-fledged Kindergartener. Yesterday was parent orientation and a teacher meet and greet for the kids. Today was no-nonsense pack a lunch and drop her off for the first day of classes. In the car, I reminded her where her lunch was, “I remember Mom”. I reminded her where her snack [...] valerie -- April 17th, 2011Maia is getting registered for kindergarten this week. We’re duly filling out the forms and making sure we have the right paperwork. I reminded John over breakfast of our upcoming appointment and mentioned that my friend Kathleen would stay with the girls. Maia’s ears perked up. “Why is Kathleen coming over?” V: “So we can [...] john -- March 26th, 2011Maia just counted to 100 for the first time. We started by counting by tens, helping her through 40 until she took over completely on here own. After that, we started from 1 and she made it on her own to 100. There were only a couple of corrections needed for silly things like calling [...] valerie -- January 31st, 2010After breakfast the other morning we sat down at the table and Maia wanted to get some pens out to color. The sisters were in bed so it was a good time to do some drawing. Markers and paper came out and Maia asked if she could write her name. Great, I thought. I’ve been [...] valerie -- August 25th, 2009Maia has become just a tiny bit balloon obsessed lately. She loves them, uses them as her babies, names them (which is new) and just wants them with her always. Especially if they happen to be orange. Maia has also started drawing pictures of her world. The other day she drew some big slide looking [...] valerie -- July 5th, 2009Maia went for her 3-year check up in the middle of last month. Once again, she’s tiny but perfect. And a joy to work with. She was very good for the nurse, even when she had a new check performed–her blood pressure was taken. She was good for Dr. Rose, answering all her questions, but [...] valerie -- June 16th, 2009Maia woke up on June 2 and began climbing down her ladder while I was getting the babies out of bed. “Maia,” I asked, “How old are you today?” Without hesitation her reply, “I’m three” with the fingers held up for emphasis. Oh yes, you certainly are. (tin roof…rusted) valerie -- June 16th, 2009Maia quietly turned three two weeks ago…while we were all fighting a rather nasty bug running rampant through the house. We had a lovely play-date party scheduled for the second of June, but alas had to reschedule it to last Thursday. We had, in Maia’s words, “all my friends” over: Ava, David, Zoe, Ben, Kellen, [...] |
