Maya the Troublemaker

While Klaudia is very much rules-oriented, Maya is the opposite.  Maya knows the rules, but she refuses to follow them.

She requested a bottle of milk the other day (very unusual for her; it may have been her second time ever).  When she got it, she headed straight to the living room.  I watched her to see if she would actually drink it.  She walked around the coffee table and tilted the milk bottle enough to spill a little.  I handed her a towel and reminded her that milk is not to play with and that we do not spill anything on the coffee table. 

As I walked to the kitchen where I could watch her while doing the dishes, I could see she was watching me.  She was standing where I left her, with her bottle tilted a bit waiting.  And so I kept watching.  Finally she broke the silence and said:  "Mommy, can you hide for me, please?"
