Our Maggie’s fascination with her new found world continues almost unchecked and that’s probably where the problem is!!! This little monkey has decided that all things have to sniffed, licked, chewed, bitten and shaken for good measure. The throw pillows on the couches are prime targets for her; someone must have told her they were throw pillows because she has come to the realization they are great toys on the floor and why ever would we want them to stay on the couch??? E V E R Y T H I N G that can possibly put in her mouth and is within reach (from the four foot stance or the two foot stance!!!)……pants, socks, shoes, shorts, p j ‘s, dress pants, skirts, bare feet…..the toe that’s licked can just as easily be bitten (it might be food!!!).
Peeing on the family room floor can be done in the “tinkle” of an eye and has play value as the ensuing wiping of the floor must be meant for her amusement!!! Kitchen chairs (wooden) and the table are prime biting/teething targets and look at that, they are available even lying down; who would have thought??? The endless chewing has resulted in my getting her an old stick complete with bark to while away the hours; it’s definitely cheaper than replacing all the furniture!!! I broke it into two pieces, gave her half which she feverishly worked on until sleep overtook her. She looked so beautiful in the midst of strewn bark pieces and a thousand bits and pieces of wood remnants that were just waiting to audition for a role in “Toothpicks”, a real life drama brought to you by the Paces, set design by Maggie!!!!
