Waiting for daddy

This is Madeline's new thing. She crawls over to the window and says"da da da da". I pull up the shade, sit her on the window seat, and she watches the world outside. She sees the kids walking to school, the school bus, the people walking to the train station. But the real reason she requests her window perch shows up around 8:30. The silver car pulls up, she starts kicking her legs and waving her hands. Its Daddy coming home from work !

It is so fun to see her react to people, not just to us as her parents, but other babies, strangers in a store, people in the bank.... A chubby cheeked dimple faced baby named Madeline can get even the most seasoned New Yorker to stop for a minute to return a smile. 'Tis the power of babies
