Little missy sitting under the bridge

Moment: Bee song

I thought I should explain the picture a few posts down with Maggie & Dada running around the kitchen like bees.

Maggie loves the bee song. You know... the BEE song. Well, if you spent any time in my house growing up you know the Bee song. My brother John plays it on the piano and as kids we would run around after dinner acting like bees (I can't believe that I just admitted that!). Yes, we had television and other things to entertain us... but we would always run around like bees. Doesn't everyone? (Brian, do you remember the Bee song?)

Anyway, I take Maggie to music class once a week and the teacher gave me a CD to take home of all of the songs we sing. One of them was... the BEE song! I taught Maggie the bee dance and now she starts a buzzin once we go downstairs every morning. She even has bee stickers on her shoes and points them out to Grandpa. I think that she is channeling her Grandpa Win... who really loved bees.

The Moon

Walking home for the park tonight, Dada pointed out the moon. What's that Maggie? Mooooon.

Mooor cookie???

Scene: Maggie sitting in her high chair at the farm. Dinner is served. Full plates are sitting before us.

Maggie: "Mooor? Moor? Moooor?" (translation: More) Pointing to the freshly baked cookies cooling on the counter.

Dada: "No. You can not have any cookies until you are all done with your dinner."

Maggie: Looked down at her plate, looked up at the cookies. One second passes, hands go up in front of her giving the baby sign for all done. "All done, all done!!"

Adults in the room break up in laughter. She is clearly smarter than all of us put together. I hate to admit that we did not see that one coming!!

Before I forget...

18 month check up went well. She is healthy and happy (did I mention cute?).
