Maggie has added to her vocabulary list. A few of my favorites are:
"Whyyy." It's not a question, it's a complaint. Whenever you tell her she can't do something, she imediately responds with a very whiny, "Whyyy." I'm guessing she picked this up from her brothers, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't quite get the meaning. For example:
Maggie says, "Gum!"
Mom says, "You can't have any gum, you ate it all."
Maggie says, "Whyyy..."
And Mom doesn't know what to say to that.
"Maa-Maa." Did I write this one, yet? Yes, Matthew finally has a name. It's "Maa-Maa"--it goes well with "Nay-Nay".
"Ma." Grandma got shortened to "Ma". At first she called Grandpa "Ma", but now he gets:
"Paba." Grandpa finally got his own two syllables.
"Wa-wa-wee." Maggie was singing along to 'Puff, the Magic Dragon". You know, "...frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee..." She just repeats the honah lee part.
"Dode." This means road, but translates roughly into: "I want to walk in the road." For some reason, she really loves to walk in the middle of the road. Probably expressly because it's forbidden. Oh, what a child.

Moving: Lame
Moving Tip #1: When using PODS to move your stuff, think carefully about the size of the POD and the size of the moving truck that was completely full when you moved into the house. And then think about all the stuff you've bought since then. Hmm. Maybe you need two or three PODS instead of one.
Moving Tip #2: Are we having fun, yet? (That's Brian's version of a morale booster.)
Moving Tip #3: Friends and family are wonderful, wonderful people and we love them for pitching in because we'd probably still be trying to move out if they didn't.
Moving Tip #4: Why are we doing this?
Moving Tip #5: Trying to set aside what you need for the next couple of months while packing up the rest of the house doesn't work very well. Move out. Now throw everything else in boxes.
I don't even want to list any more moving tips, it's depressing just to think about last week. Let's just say it was long and miserable and we're so glad we survived.
While I miss my home and my friends in Tooele, I have to admit I woke up Friday morning feeling so liberated. Even though I never had to make that drive around the mountain every day, just the thought that Brian didn't have to anymore was so, well, liberating. Freedom from long, horrid drives! Hooray!
