Socks

I think that the ladies at the daycare center really, honestly, legitimately are very fond of Margaret. They always run to grab her in the morning which is undoubtedly encouraged by Margaret's bouncing and outstretched arms as soon as she sees them. Unlike some of the other kids, there's no hesitation about leaving Mama or Papa for someone more exciting. And, at the end of each day, they always tell us new tricks that Margaret has displayed.

She's added a sharp scissors motion with the arms to her head shakes and declaration of "DOP!" when another kid tries to take her toy. She has few qualms about taking toys from other kids, but no way she'll accept similar treatment in reverse. Whenever the phone in the center rings, Margaret yells "Daaaaa!" They also like to talk about how she "flirts" with, but pushes away, the boys in the center. Maggie Moo with her "pageant queen wave", which is also a big hit at the dog park, appears to be quite the diva. Even the GSA security guards say "Hey there Margaret!" as she waves and slaps their palms on our way into the center. Since the weather has been nice, they've been taking the kids out for walks in a really big stroller, and the guards say that Margaret gets very excited about heading outside. Someone, I'm not sure who although I have my suspicions, apparently likes to wave at passersby during their walk.

She also tried to pull the blue shoe covers that they use at the center onto her feet today. And last night, she messed around with my socks as if she was trying to put them on her feet. Her coordination is lacking, but she appears to have the correct idea. Things are definitely percolating in her little head.
