Little things about Macina

Macina is such a GIRL! She loves putting on bracelets, purses and makeup. And she LOVES her baby dolls. She has three dolls (so far)--two normal size babies and a giant one (thanks Nonna). I constantly have to put their hats on for her and socks and change their diapers.....she shares her food and drink with them....and she makes me breastfeed them! Okay, maybe this is a little TOO much info about us but I think it is cute. :) Sometimes I have to feed two at a time, then she shoves them out of the way so she can get in there. Silly girl. She also likes to sit down and have them all sitting around/next to her while I read her a story. Here's a picture of the four of them:

Giving #2 a kiss (BABY number 2 that is!)

There are tons of things Macina likes to do even though we tell her "NO". 

• She digs her fingers into the dirt outside and eats it. 
• She runs full speed ahead down the driveway into the street. 
• She dumps all the food off of her plate. 
• She puts random things in her mouth and then gives us a big grin, when we ask "What's in your mouth?!"  she immediately turns around to run in the other direction, laughing. 
  
• She rests her feet up on the kitchen table at dinner. Here's a picture of dinner time tonight.....Nick told her to get her feet off the table and here's her reaction:

total happiness

She loves throwing things away in the garbage can, but she always makes me go with her so I have to make like a million trips there a day (lazy I know). She has to be the one to turn the light off when we leave a room and has to be the one to give the cashier the credit card or else she gets very angry! Hmmm, I'm beginning to think my daughter may be controlling......Nah!!
