What's So Great About Maria?

What isn't? Ha! No, really. Here are the things that are so great about Maria, brought to you by the courtesy of both the girls napping at the same time:

She's gorgeous
She loves to go places
We can just drop her in her crib and she goes to sleep
If you don't understand what she wants at first, she'll gladly repeat it. And then sing it. And then get louder about it.
She loves to dance
She is pretty good at sharing
She loves Anthony and Veronica a LOT
She has beautiful eyes
She is a good runner and climber
She sometimes will say HUG and give you one. Ditto for kisses.
She truly loves to laugh
She's a good signer
She knows a lot of words
She's very determined
She has an excellent memory
She will do what you say - lately we ask her to go throw something away and she does it. This is amazing, to us!
Oh, there are truly one million great things about Maria. We are working on a new way of dealing with the tantrums and freakouts and it's going okay. We stayed at our class the whole time this morning, and she was really sweet and a good share-r with the other kids. We're getting there!
