All world's a stage...at least for Maya

Maya is VERY into anything princess, magical, pretend, and enchanted these days. I love it! It is so fun and funny to listen to the things she says. For example we were playing outside and a plane flew by. Her exact response was, "Mom, look a plane! I think it is flying to Neverland." I am loving her little imagination and cherishing all the imaginative moments.

The other day Maya asked me for a "big apple" (she didn't want me to cut it up like usual) which was odd because that is her least favorite way to eat them. I gave her one and this is what took place for the next hour...


"Oh look a poison apple from the evil queen" (I'm always chosen to be the evil queen!)


"I must take a bite!"


"Oh...now I will sleep forever!"

We had a great time "acting" this out! I guess I know how to get her to eat "big apples" now!

Diggin' in Dirt

Here is Cohen sitting in the sand at the playground, he loved it!

He couldn't wait to dig right in and get all dirty. Sand was a new texture/thing for him to feel and it was so fun to watch him enjoying it.

Of course he ultimately had to put some in his mouth! We love our little guy!

Pine Cone Bird Feeder

Maya made a bird feeder out of the pine cones we gathered from Great Grandma Bowles' house. She loved spreading peanut butter on it, rolling it in bird seed, and then tying to the tree in our front yard. We haven't seen any birds nibbling on it yet but we watch for them everyday!
