One track mind

I took Maya swimming and she was so excited until....I took off her shoes. She was not a happy camper. But, somehow I got her to the pool and thought she would be ready to play in the water and enjoy swimming like usual. Instead, she kept signing "shoes" to me and would just not let it go. So I told her we would have to leave if she wanted her shoes and she nodded yes so that was that....

When Maya wakes up from her naps she usually signs "eat" to me and cries as if I haven't fed her for days. It's her ploy to have me pick her up. Or she signs "hurt" when she wakes up so that I will hold her. Today before her nap she signed "watermelon" to me since we had that for lunch. I said "no, it is time to rest". So we went up and even as I put her in her crib she kept signing "eat" and "more"...After letting her cry it out for a bit I walked back in and what does she immediately sign to me?!.."watermelon".......she was so focused on having watermelon that she would not nap until she got to eat some. Silly girl!

 Watermelon!
