Maliah Play Time

We took the kids to a Saturday morning show at the National Theater in downtown DC featuring a Revision Dance Collaborative.  After the show and lunch, we headed back home and the kids fell asleep in the car.  We successfully transition Maliah to her crib for naptime, but weren't so successful with Magnus.  Finally, two hours later, Magnus went down for his nap... and Maliah was up from her nap!

Though this meant no break for Mom and Dad, it also meant some relaxed play time for Maliah.  She didn't have to worry about being side-swiped by her brother, or having to swap out toys with him, or any other disruptions.  I captured three quick clips of her playing.

Maliah telling Momma what sounds animals make and doing the sign for them as well... her lion roar is ADORABLE!

Maliah reading a book. She LOVES to read books.  She does the sign for book (hands together like you are praying and then open them like a book), and says 'boah.. boah,' for book.  She will grab a book, give it to you and turn around and stand in front of you, waiting for you to put her on your lap to read the book to her.

Maliah showing how she can make the train whistle work...sort of. Once again a very ADORABLE video.
