doesn't want to grow up

Don't you dare tell her she is a "big kid". She wants nothing to do with that growing up stuff. For the last couple of weeks she has been telling everyone, and I mean everyone, that it is her birthday time. People must have been commenting that she is getting "big" because the other night while doing our before bed-time routine she looks at me with this serious face and tells me "mommy I not getting big, I just a little kid". Right then and there my heart melted into a big puddle on the bathroom floor. Her little blue eyes looked so sad. Don't get me wrong, she is excited about the birthday thing, but wants no part of the growing up part. And you know what? I wouldn't either... growing up is way over rated.

Maggie can be extremely shy around new kids but will run like a crazy banshee when she is having fun. She has the best little laugh in the world, and a mean streak that is always hiding behind that beautiful smile of hers.
