Little Helper

     Today was a work-around-the-house day for Mommy and Nana - Madison is always a little helper, insisting on carrying things to their proper location to be put away.  She'll push oversized things about, trying to assist wherever possible...which might not be real helpful if you know what I mean!

     I looked down at work today and noticed a bullhorn, leftover from a recent event.  It immediately brought to mind Madison's funny attraction to the thing - she'll want me to pick it up for her (it's too heavy for her), and then she'll start making all sorts of noise into it, laughing the whole time.  It's funny things like these you've got to write down before time erases them from your mind.  She's got a lot of cute little habits.  Like at bed time:  she has to get kisses from everyone before and after milk.  She calls out "Noooh," which doesn't mean "no."  It means:  "nose," as in she wants to rub noses with you.  I have no idea where she got this from.

     Tonight, I had to also kiss goodnight her large rubber frog.  And rub noses with it.  This happens with whichever bedtime friends she's hanging around with each night.  One time, I remember having to kiss goodnight Rusty and Pat (Handy Manny's wrench and hammer).  We have to be careful around Squeeze!

     Daddy got her Handy Manny's tools, because she loves to imitate her parents as they work.  While we put stuff together in the garage, she'll have her tools as well - though she isn't putting anything in particular together.  Or, at least I hope she isn't!
