Vacuum

Matilda is not a huge fan of the vacuum lately. She doesn't outright cry, but she is clearly stressed when it comes out. She spends the entire time the vacuum is running saying "mama" and watching me nervously. After our most recent vacuuming event she was very clear in her wishes. As I turned it off she walked right up and said "bye bye" while waving frantically at the appliance. I asked if she would like me to put it away and she responded "please" while continuing to wave and point toward the closet. The whole exchange cracked me up and also made me really amazed at how much she can communicate now. She has been nodding yes or no to answers for only a month now but we are already so dependant on those answers.
