It's true, though... she really is getting pretty funny.
From Maia's recent Daily Sheets from daycare
Maia is doing very well with her colors! We practiced them in circle today and she was very interested in the books that we read about colors. She had fun climbing the piles of snow with Celia. She watched me while I wrote our friends' names on the artwork on our wall, and repeated the name after I wrote it. We went to visit the grandmas and grandpas today. Maia climbed into one of the grandpa's laps. In other news... Maia has been having some issues with trying to bite her friends at daycare. Often she will go to bite a friend and if her teachers catch her, she will stop and ask "I bite?" Today, however, she got very upset with a friend who took her toy, and went in for the bite... missed, and bit herself. She was shocked! And her teachers tried very hard not to laugh. She is seeming to have a little explosion of development of late. Language, concepts, ability to follow more complex directions. She is doing very well with identifying shapes, but is hit and miss with colors. She is very, very interested in letters... She will randomly identify them correctly. If you show her one A, she can find another. When the alphabet song is playing, she will randomly "sing" the next letter. She'll actually do this with words of songs, too. She will also answer some of her own questions with our usual responses. For example, when in the car and listening to her favorite CD, a song will end and she will ask "More? more?" And we will say "You wait, it's coming!" She will now say "More? It coming, it coming!" She is also continuing to show pretty good understanding of what her little potty is for... but I don't think she's completely ready to really start potty training, so I am not pushing it yet. At daycare, her teachers are sending her over to the infant room for 10-15 minutes a day to get acquainted with the newest baby... who is currently about 9 weeks old. This is fortuitous, as it will help Maia get some exposure to what newborns are like. So far, the only new babies in the infant room have been older, and already on the move. So I appreciate the timing! So far, she has been fairly interested in the new baby (she has always loved to visit the infant room anyway), and enjoyed petting him (like a dog!) today. Also, Maia is getting really good at stairs, and can alternate her legs going up if you hold on to her hand. Otherwise, she will walk up with one hand on the step to support her. Her favorite way to get down the entire set of stairs is to slide down on her belly. However, she's certainly able to go down them holding on to your hand.
