Mischief Mae

Mae is learning to do all kinds of things and is getting into quite a bit of mischief, earning her the new nickname of Mischief Mae. She knows what she wants and will not be deterred. She has learned how to open doors, so we put doorknob covers on a few doors. All that did was tell Mae which doors were the best ones to get into. She has an amazing amount of patience and will stand at the door and keep trying until the rubber grip of the cover catches and she can then open the door. After practicing this for a few days she is getting much better at getting into any and all doors. One day I went to the basement to switch the wash and start a new load. Mae did not miss a beat- she opened the linen closet and got out lotion, soap, toothbrushes, etc. She then went to the coat closet and spread vacuum attachment pieces around the living room. She then was in my room getting some computer work done. Honestly, I was not gone for very long.

 Mae also LOVES to put shoes on. Her favorite are boots and she will often wear Anne's rubber boots around the house. One day I found her/heard her walking around the kitchen wearing my boots. I don't know how she was able to walk around in them, but she was very happy. She is waving in the top picture.

 Mae has also decided that she is much too old for sitting in a booster seat at the table. I still buckle her in for meals, but I let her sit in a normal chair for snacks. She loves being like the big kids sitting in the chair. She also is developing her cheesy face.

 Mae enjoys sitting on Anne's bed and really likes all of Anne's things. This is probably because Anne is constantly taking everything away from her, so she likes to do a bit of the same back to Anne. I found her playing on Anne's computer one day and she looks like she is concentrating and learning AND having fun. Although in reality, she just keeps pushing buttons until it starts to make noise or music.
