Maria loves to be outside and she loves to have her clothes off. "Shirt off!", she'll say. "Pants off!". "Diaper OFF!". She is a bossy thing, of course, but boy oh boy has she been fun lately. She talks so much and she's so funny. She sings a lot, she loves the pool, she loves when people come over. Our friend Ryan is painting our house and she must say hi to him 1,000 times a day. "Hi, Ryan! How you?" She says it all the time and he is, thank God, a father of two, so he's super patient and says hi and fine every time.
