Miss Independent

Maya has been asserting her independence lately and it has made for some interesting times.  Some prime examples:

- The 3AM tantrum which included kicking, screaming, yelling and pushing Mommy away.  All because I wasn't on board with "night night all done"

- The refusal to wear any jacket she owns except for "yellow jacket"

- The extreme disapproval she shows when diaper changes happen on our insistence instead of hers

- Her bossiness when she shows Mommy or Daddy exactly where to sit and what she wants to read


But, she makes up for it with the continual kisses and bear hugs she has learned to give.  And this...

(excuse my sniffling - we are all fighting winter colds)
