Summertime Fun and a Box o' Cheerios

A few more from the other day when it was about 5000 degrees outside. I fill her little bucket with water and she loves it.

Like most toddlers , Maddy is obsessed with Cheerios. We but the humongo box that can feed a small nation. We ran out the other day and I put the box next to the garbage b/c I didn't have time to rip it up ( oops, I mean recycle it). Since 'round the garbage has been deemed The Most Spectacular Place in the House by Maddy, she got a hold of the box and would not let go. She makes the sign for 'more" ( well, its a modified sign, but I know what she means), but to do it, she had to put the box down. Then mid-signing, she'd realize she no longer had the box in her hand and went to pick it up... and tried to sign 'more' again. I let it go on longer than I should have. It was fun to see her wheels turning... and finally she just screamed and flung herself on the ground. You know, a toddlers way of saying' Might I possibly have some Cheerios , mom ?"
