Favorites

Maya is starting to understand the word "favorite" more. When asked her favorite color it is often blue which puts a big smile on my face. However, it is also sometimes purple, green, yellow, pink...oh and the other day blue and black! Tonight we were reading a book with pictures of animals and it asked her favorite animal. She said, "Two favorites" which surprised me and she told me the horse and the rabbits. Then she saw the cats...and the dogs...and said that they were favorites, too. Then she decided they were all her favorites...I think she loves animals.

She is asking more in depth questions, too. Today she asked, "How did that happen" when she made a mess with her food (on purpose I presume as I was cleaning up spit up from Savannah). I am starting to think she has a sensitivity to dairy because she hasn't spit up in a while like tonight and I had a LOT of ice cream. There are just too many flavors to choose from at yummy Rota Springs in Sterling and I thought Maya was going to share more than me. Anyway...back to Maya's questioning skills...she has never been a "why" kid, but she is starting to answer "why questions" which is so cute. I wish I could remember some of the answers she gave me today. She is starting to ask them, too, and I have trouble answering some on her level! I am in trouble!

We had a fun day at Davis Farmland. I decided though today that the library should have not been on our list of places to go today. We stopped in the morning to return books and I had the smart idea of getting the discount pass to Davis. When I got to the counter I realized I dropped it (or with my mind the way it is these days stuck it somewhere). Dan went back to the parking lot to look and I searched my bags and the stroller...no luck. All of a sudden the woman behind us was using the pass!!! Long story short she continued to lie about it even when confronted from a letter from the library that stated that I was the only one who checked out a pass today. I am so naive...I can never believe that women with small children lie...it is disheartining to see the example people set. Though I can also understand that things are so expensive an it was $5 off each ticket. People should need to get a license and take an exam to have children! To top the day off, on the way home we were headed to the library to return the pass...while stopped at the light we were rear-ended. The Traverse seems minorly damaged...we shall see. Another thing on the to do list!
