Knuffle Bunny

Maddie's "Aunt" Linda and "Uncle" Darol sent her yet another package a few months ago. Inside was the book, "Knuffle Bunny" and a stuffed version of the main character. We read the book a few times and she liked it enough, but nothing out of the ordinary. That all changed about a month ago when Maddux began requesting the book every day. And then she started carrying around Knuffle Bunny most of the time. She now knows the book by heart and will even 'act out' the faces of Trixie (Knuffle Bunny's owner) when the pages are turned. If you haven't read the book, it's an adorable story about a toddler taking a trip to the laundromat with her dad. Her beloved stuffed animal (Knuffle Bunny) gets left behind and frustration in trying to communicate that ensues. All ends well and Trixie utters her first words when Knuffle Bunny is found. Maddux LOVES to say the nonsensical words of Trixie and she loves even more to do her own narration of what happens in the book. For example, the first page shows Trixie and her dad leaving their apartment to walk outside. Maddux always says (in the goofiest voice she has), "Bye-bye, Mommy!" on that page. Her little mind is always working!

This video is straight out of the camera - no editing. If you're not a hard-core Mad Dog fan, it will probably drag.

She's too cute for her own good.
