madelyn loves playing with our dogs in the basement. she was having such a great time playing while i was working in the office. today's fun was playing in the larger of the dogs' cages. she even brought in some crayons and paper and sat in there drawing for a while. she was also insisting on feeding them their food by bringing it to them. and after a while she had to chew on some of it herself. she always tells me "the dog food is yummy".
here is the cutest conversation from the morning:
"be back, maggie, okay." and then she ran towards the stairs.
"madelyn, where are you going?"
"getting pants for maggie."
"getting maggie pants?"
"yea!"
"why?"
"to go to the park. pants for maggie to the park."
i had to convince her that maggie did not need pants and that it was raining so we wouldn't be going to the park. i don't know where she got the idea that maggie needed pants, but it made me laugh.
here is some video of her laughing at maggie from inside the cage.
other sayings that have me amused these days:
- "hurt myself. okay." - the "myself" was something new today, but the declaration that she is "okay" has become a regular part of her recovery routine. she might even be crying, but she still manages to get out an "okay" through the tears.
- "where are you?" - she calls it out, loudly, when she is looking for someone or something. sometimes even if she can see them/it. when we were at the zoo she was calling out "tiger, where are you?" entertaining all the adults around her who giggled to themselves. i haven't been able to get it on video yet, but i hope i can because the way she says it is priceless to me.
love.

Of course Maggie needs pants to go to the park! Lorelai calls for things she's finding, too. It started becaue when I was little and couldn't find something, my mom would get tired of us always asking her to find it, so she'd say, 'Call it.' and wouldn't you know as soon as we called it, we would find it! So, Lorelai has also been trained to 'call it.' :)
