Ariel

Ariel is Maggie's baby. Maggie believes that she has been pregnant for about 15 months now. Any day we are going to have to go the hospital so she can have this baby. She gets so excited when she talks about it. Her eyes light up and she speaks with a lot of animation. It's so sweet! She says when the baby "comes out" she gets to play with her!
One day she was really down because her Ariel still had not come out of her tummy. I told her we would to to the store and get a baby doll that would be her Ariel until the real Ariel arrived. She was game. We went to the store and got a very pretty doll that she immediately fell in love with. She is relatively content now with this Ariel doll.

A few facts about Ariel:
Ariel's other name is Honey Pie Pony.
Ariel shares Maggie's bed.
At Ariel's next birthday, she will turn 61!
Ariel still poops in her diaper and Maggie is upset with her for doing this.
Ariel loves her fratti (like Mommy, Like baby)
Ariel likes her dollies and she puts her hand on top. (not sure what this means but Maggie says,"That's what babies do, ya know." Hmmmm.
Ariel is going to be born "next month when the clean up monster gives back all our toys." This is an interesting comment as well since the clean-up monster has never taken any toys. Maybe she is planning ahead.

Maggie's first day of Preschool was today!
She had absolutely no problems whatsoever. It helps that she knows many of the kids in her class and had her teacher this summer for camp. She was all smiles when I picked her up today. She had a great day! Go Maggie!

Since this entry is mostly about Maggie, here are a few Maggieisms:

Me: Maggie, doesnt it feel good when you get your teeth brushed?
Maggie: No! They feel hard!
Me: Hard?
Maggie: Yes, Hard as a rock!


Me: Andrew, are you ready to sit in the cart?
Maggie: Maybe he wants to walk.
Me: Andrew can't walk, yet.
Maggie: (very serious face) Well, he needs to go to walking school. That's where I learned to walk.
