Oven

 
She had just learned how to open and crawl in the oven. She is crazy, up with the birds, she screams at least once in the night and I think, "we know, Maria! We know you're up there!". But she certainly is sunshiney and happy when she is. This morning she was singing Old McDonald and it nearly broke my heart, her sitting there in Anthony's pajamas, singing Old McDonald. It made me think of when he would sing "E, I, E, I....ho?" I try not to compare them, but it's impossible. I think it's impossible with typical children and it's really hard to not do with Anthony and Maria. But I'm trying.
