All The Funny Things

I really get a kick out of Madelyn and all the random things she says. I love the way she sometimes says things kind of backwards or out of order in her own Madelyn dialect. I have loved hearing her language change. She used to sing the ABC's with the letter"Q" and "R" as one letter like "queyaw" but now "R" is its own letter, just with a thick twang that I am not sure how to explain. You'll have to hear it some time.

This morning Madelyn was painting and she got paint on the table. When I came down from getting ready she had the dish towel over the table and said to me, "don't look under the towel." I just now yelled down to her and asked her how she was doing. Her reply was, "don't come down". Of course I went down to find her once yellow paper covered in A LOT of pink paint.

Yesterday she took two pencils and proceeded to go under the kitchen table. She said to me, "don't look under here." She likes to bite the erasers off of pencils.

Also yesterday, she wanted to put on her swimming suit to play in the hose. She asked if she could just wear the swim skirt without the swim suit. I told her no of course and then she asked if she could wear a bra with her skirt. It took me a second to figure out she wanted a bikini top. Ha.



I love how she interacts with little Sawyer. She is such a little mommy who makes sure he is content while playing on his mat by saying "Are you OK bud". Or when he cries she will sooth him by saying, "Its OK, I am hear, I am hear". And then she will give him encouragement when he rolls over or semi sits up by saying in a very high pitched mom voice, "good job buddy, good job!" She will say it multiple times to make sure he catches her enthusiasm.




Sawyer doesn't do anything especially funny these days. He is just cute. Like I said, he rolls around and is working on sitting up. He loves being tickled and we love tickling him.

ABC's & 123's

This morning I got Madelyn ready for her third day of pre school at Miss Mischa and Miss Becky's A-Z pre school. She thinks it is the best thing ever. Once I tell her it is a pre school day she will ask me every couple of minutes if it is time to go yet. This morning I was blow drying my hair still and realized she was no longer in my bedroom. I just new she was outside looking for the car pool. I went out to find her waiting at the bottom of our grass. So cute. Because I am a little weary of leaving my three year old outside alone I told her she needed to come get her back pack. Of course she came running. There is no way she would forget her princess back pack.

I really love thinking about how much fun Madelyn is having at pre school. I think she feels like she gets to go to a birthday party every Tuesday and Thursday. She has started telling me about new friends that she is meeting, and she loves all the little crafts that she gets to do.

I feel like I have entered a new realm of motherhood. I have a little girl who is no longer a baby. It is fun having little conversations with her, and so fun figuring out how to be a good mom to her (I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like I just make it up as I go).
