Too Quiet
Whenever it gets too quiet in our house when Maggie's around, it means one of two things:
1. she's doing something she's not supposed to
or
2. she's hiding somewhere to go poop
For the past month or so, her hiding place has been behind one of our kitchen cabinets. See below.

Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! We went up to my brother's new house. Christiana and Brett hosted a great meal, spent with some great people.
The day after Thanksgiving, Rob had the day off, too. So, we went to Wal-Mart to do some Christmas shopping (we did not go at 5am however). We even got our Christmas tree and decorations up. Maggie did a fantastic job of helping to put the ornaments on the tree and setting out all of my snowmen decorations. She even picked some out to put in her room!

Potty Training Update
Maggie still has her good days and bad days with potty training, but she is definitely progressing more and more. A lot of times, she will initiate going, too. We still have to ask her if she needs to go, but most often she tells us when she needs to. Tonight, she even went into the bathroom on her own, turned the light on, pulled her pants down, took her diaper off, and went poopy on the potty! I think, and hope, we are getting closer folks!!
Emporia Visit
Rob, Maggie, and I drove down to Emporia today. It was great to go back and see the places Rob and I used to hang out at, live at, go to, etc. Nothing has really changed either! The memories came flooding back of when we met for the first time and all the great times we had together. It was so neat to share this with Maggie, too. She really enjoyed walking around the campus and checking things out. We'll definitely need to make our next trip back sooner than this one was though!
Endocrine Lab Results
First off, the endocrine clinic nurse called to let us know that all of Maggie's labs came back normal.
She also told me that at her next appt. in March, they will reevaluate her growth in height. She said that if Maggie's height doesn't increase, they may want to look at growth hormone testing as a possibility. Here's the part that kind of angers Rob and I though: he specifically told them her growth was a concern of ours when they asked him and they said they were pleased with her growth. They said they were happy that she was on the growth charts now and even showed them to Rob. Her doctor told Rob that Maggie's growth rate is actually increasing at a faster rate than other children her age, too. So, how can they say how pleased they are one minute and then say growth hormone testing is a possibility the next minute?!
I guess we will just cross this bridge when, and if, we come to it.

Endocrine Appt.
Rob took Maggie to her endocrine checkup today. Her doctor said she looked really good. In fact, she is in the 10th percentile for height. The best part though is the fact that she finally made it on the growth charts for her weight (6th percentile). She is up to a whopping 24 pounds! They drew labs to check her thyroid levels. Luckily, they only had to stick Mag once this time. We don't have results back from these labs yet. We will go back to the clinic for another checkup in 6 months.

Halloween Candy
We were pleasantly surprised at how much of Maggie's candy was actually okay for her to eat (contained no peanuts). We thought for sure she'd be left with very little. It was really nice how most of the candy had the ingredients listed, even on the individual pieces, and companies like Goetze had it specifically posted on their website that their candy contains no peanuts. The picture below shows 2 different piles, the one on the left is the "can't eat pile" and the one on the right is the "eat pile".
Halloween
Rob, Maggie and I went to a Halloween Party last night with Uncle Brett and Christiana. We also got to go around the neighborhood and trick or treat. Maggie loved every minute of it and brought in quite the load of candy, too! This year she actually said "trick or treat" and "thank you" each time. One funny from last night: We went to one house and she said trick or treat and then said thank you, but she said it so soft, I asked her to say it a little louder. So, she said it again, but it was still pretty soft. I told her to say it so they could hear her and she shouted out "bye bye" instead! There's never a dull moment with Maggie around!!
