I wanted to document a few of the things that make Maya, Maya.
- She sucks her fingers when tired and has since the moment she had enough control over them to get them to her mouth on her own. She has no preference on which hand she uses; however, on her right hand she uses her middle and ring fingers and on her left hand she uses her pointer and middle fingers. Don't know why, but it has always been this way.
- Every time we go in the car she takes off her right shoe and sock. Never the left, just the right. Again, who knows why, she just does.
- She could care less about TV - unless it is a nature program. When we need a couple minutes to get ready in the morning, we put on the 'HD sunrise channel' and she looks for birds, fish and other animals while eating breakfast. There is no commentary or story in this program, all it is is a couple cameras filming a real time sunrise and the nature around it. The girl loves it. She gets this from her Daddy.
- I have mentioned this many times, but she has loved books since she could 'read' them herself. Maya is well known by all at her daycare center for how obsessed she is with books. She will even use them as an escape when she gets overwhelmed. We read the story, we talk about the pictures, we point out the objects and practice the words. And she never tires of it. She gets this from her Mommy.
- She is very particular and knows how she wants things. When playing with stickers, she gets upset if one is touching the other and will move it to a "better" location. She doesn't like it when her hands are dirty and will ask for them to be cleaned throughout her meal. She lined up her toys along the edge of the rug yesterday and really thought about where each one should be placed. Some of them she picked up and traded spots. A little OCD? Maybe, but I'm not sure how much of this is a surprise since she has a Mommy who eats her french fries in order (smallest to largest). Here is a picture of her in action.
