Crazy For Her... » Her Voice http://www.crazyforher.com or is it because of her? Don't worry. We are the fun kind of crazy!

I had forgotten what was stored there so I put new batteries in and started playing the files one by one. Most of them I remember because I am the one that recorded them; secretly capturing Maddie singing her ABC’s or saying something silly. Then I heard Chris and Maddie, there was a lot of background noise and it sounds like they are putting together a puzzle. I have attached two of my favorites…

 

Good Day

Testing…

Those of you who know Chris can probably imagine the scene – Chris was trying to teach Maddie to count to ten using UNO cards.  He was also trying to teach her the rules of WAR, the classic card game that I played when I was young but not as young as Maddie.  Chris was determined and extremely persistent.  Maddie is two and was not interested.  She was only interested in playing her own game called “I-N-N-O-P”.  Don’t ask because I don’t understand it either.  While Chris was explaining why his 6 trumped her 2 she was explaining that we should hush up and watch her point to the cards.  Pointing to the cards is a strategic move in the competetive game of “I-N-N-O-P”.

I thought it would be better than the video camera because it is small and I thought it would be easy to hide from her. But now Maddie knows what it is when she sees it and when she sees it she wants it. And she must hold it and delete everything on it. I now have to use great imagination when trying to capture her voice or if I am lazy I bribe her like I did today. Basically I treat her like a circus monkey “Maddie. If you want something to eat you have to sing the song.” It may seem a little cruel but it works and it’s cute. We can all listen to this when we are having a bad day and it will surely make everything seem a little better.

No More Monkeys!
