Maggie is walking

Three weekends ago Cindy left for the weekend to go to WKU for her 10 year college reuinion. Sam and Maggie stayed with me, which was fun. I found out just how much a full time job those two are! If you leave them for more than a minute Sam is navigating through the TiVo menu and Maggie is crawling on top of the kid’s table. They’re crazy I swear! But we had fun. I had Sam put on his own clothes all by himself, which he resisted at first but finally obliged. And he went peepee on the potty for real for once. All I had to do was use some Halloween candy (whoppers of all things, I’ll let you do the visual.) More work to do on that. Now he no longer wants to sit on the potty, even if we try to bribe him with candy or DVD’s.

Maggie started walking that same weekend. She only took a few steps, but it was on her own. She stood up out of her little musical chair and walked two steps all by herself. I didn’t catch it on video. Since then it’s taken her quite a bit of time to take more than two steps. This past weekend she started walking a lot. Here’s the video evidence. P.S. Yes we have pants for her. No I don’t know why parents increase the pitch of their voice two octaves when talking to their kids.
