"please" stop the bleeding

this morning madelyn tripped at the park and got her first bloody injury, below the neck that is, on her knee. she got up, cried a little bit, and brushed herself off. once she was back on her feet she just got in the wagon and called out "go". i guess that was the end of the park.

once we got home i showed her how the peroxide made 'bubbles' on her new cut before applying her first band-aid. she left it on for most of the morning, but then curiosity set in and off it came. luckily, it had done its job and the bleeding had stopped.

madelyn loves to watch videos of our blogger friends. she really, really likes a "please" and "thank you" video by our friend lorelai. i think that she likes that lorelai eats a pretzel in the middle of the video. she signs "more" and "eat" every time we watch it and then "more" again once it is over. she has watched it so many times now that she knows when it is almost over and starts signing for "more". she has been trying to say "please" along with lorelai, so after watching it at least 10 times today i decided to say if she would say "please" for a snack too. and here is what i got... love.

Lorelai and Kinley call me Mom said...

I LOVE that Lorelai has been such an inspiration! What great manners, Ms. Maddie. Lorelai loves watching your videos, too. As well as Reece and Trae's. Maddie signs more and eat SO well!
Be careful with bandaids... I just read in one of the parenting magazines about a little girl who choked on one (she was much younger, but its still something to keep an eye on).
