The Punk of Epic Proportions

Maren has been such a proud big sister since Eli was born. She loves feeding him and helping us out. But at the same time, she has been a bit naughty lately. Ryan told me that I should write down some of the things she has been saying and doing so we can remember them later. There are a couple of doozies... So here goes.

--She is fascinated watching me fix Eli's formula with water in his bottle. So one day I was tending to Kate, when I came out and saw her feeding Eli a bottle. I could immediately tell it was not Formula that she had mixed together and I started to freak out. To my shock I realized she had mixed two scoops of Miralax (that we stupidly left out within her reach) and fed it to Eli. Thankfully most of it didn't blend with the water and had floated down to the bottom of the bottle. But the next day was NOT pleasant. Poor baby!! (and poor me, for changing the diapers)

--She has found it hard to share at times. One day we were driving in the car and she saw that Kate had a clip in her hair. She told me she wanted to wear the clip. I told her it was Kate's turn to wear the clip. So later that afternoon, they were together in the living room and I was finishing some work in the office. I came out and noticed hair all over the place. She had literally cut the clip out of Kate's hair with the scissors, and all of Kate's hair with it. She now has an inch of bangs that she didn't have before.

--She loves purses and has them all over the house. She probably has about 6 of them. I find them lying around and if something is missing from the kitchen or the bathroom, I can usually find it in one of Maren's purses.

--She loves changing clothes and still probably changes outfits multiple times each day. I find clothes all over the house.

She is so fun, even with her funny quirks that she is going through lately. She is loving her preschool and having fun with her new friends. We love this girl!
