Maya has been a little terror the last 2 days. She is even worse at going to sleep lately and every night it takes her at least 45 mins to settle down. Her routine is to get out of bed and go to the door and call for us underneath it. Tonight she was doing a fake cry as loud as she could and when that didn’t work she said “Mommy…. Daddy Im cwying” What got me to go in there was that I thought I heard her in the back of her room say “Daddy… I am stuck”. So of course I went in to check it out. Once in the room I understood her better and realize she was saying ” I need my Stunk” which meant she needed her little stuffed skunk. Here are photos from Maya’s Party.

Maya 3rd Birthday Party
We through a disco themed birthday party at the house on Sunday night. It was absolute bedlam but everyone had a good time. I managed to catch some footage of Maya dancing by herself in the video below by luck. The rest of the time the room was packed with kids. Carrie made egg-free cake and we served pizza. Below are some videos we will post pictures later in the week.
Maya’s second dance class did not go as well as she was grumpy and tired.
Trip With Mommy & First Dance Class for Maya
Carrie took the girls to a San Antonio based resort on Thursday. School was closed so Carrie took two days off and decided to take the girls for a little mini vacation. They went to the San Antonio zoo and then to the pool at the resort. I joined them around dinner time and by the time I arrived they looked like they could have fallen asleep. It didn’t matter they kept on going. We ate dinner and then roasted marsh mellows and made smores and watched part of a movie that was playing at an outdoor theater. When McKenna hit the pillow she was out in seconds… Maya on the other hand was wide awake. Carrie and I probably fell asleep before she did.
Here are the pictures:

This weekend we went to the Cuellars’ pool and McKenna swam better than she has before. Practically the whole width of the pool with Carrie watching. She is very proud of herself as she should be. She still needs some confidence but she is making great progress. The Kleemans and their two girls came over for dinner on Sunday night. I smoke some turkey and the kids destroyed the house.
Today was a huge day for Maya her first day of dance class. She loves to dance of course and in fact we are throwing a dance party for her birthday. Maya was soo excited and cried when McKenna got to go in first. She was a natural. We have never witnessed her so focused. Here is a short video of her doing tap in her first class:
