Future career paths for Maya:
Therapist (Grief Counselor?)
Prior to Father's Day dinner, Maya breaks the news to 3 unfortunate lobsters that tonight is not their night . . . (while Parker looks on and thinks "Oh, I just can't bear to watch!")
Artist Extraordinnaire
We did an art project for Dave's last day of school (it says "Happy Last Day of School, Daddy!"). Maya created a masterpiece, and then destroyed in, in true temperamental artist style.
Chef
We inherited a kitchen from Collin & Emerson, which works perfectly with the pots & pans that she got for her birthday and loves playing with.
A taste for me . . . And a taste for you too, Parker!
Librarian
Parker, it's story time. Listen up! (Just noticed that the book that she's reading--The Big Red Barn, a fave here---is upside down. Perhaps she wouldn't be the best librarian.)
(Side note: Parker loves that ramp. Loves. That. Ramp. Dave and I laugh every night, watching Parker's determination to nap at the top of the ramp. He climbs up, lays down . . . slides down. Huffs. Lays at the bottom of the ramp and sighs. After a few minutes, repeats the cycle. Over and over and over.)

Great post, Dana!! Love the pics.
great,great,great pics!!!and maya is quite the busy girl---a therapist(kind of like grandpajoe)or just eat the lobsters(like grandpa!!),an artist so i can add her paintings to my wall with collin's and em's(at least she didn't fling paint like pollock or cut off her ear like van gogh!), a chef(her mommy is a great cook)or librarian(maybe libray of house of reps like uncle brian). and the visual of parker and the ramp is just priceless!! :-)
Dana you are definitely starting to get funnier...
The pic of her with the lobsters coupled with your commentary is HILARIOUS. -Shirin
she is just so cute! so glad she's enjoying the kitchen! it's the perfect size for her!! and parker is hysterical with the ramp! yay! :)
So I know this is way behind since the post is a year old (just found the blog from a link to Amsterdam International...LOVE IT!), but I literally laughed out loud and had laughing tears in my eyes about the dog trying to nap on the ramp. My dog thinks she can run up the sliding board. I don't read many blogs religiously but I think you will be one. (I have a son with Down syndrome and special needs blogs are the only ones I read.)
