Cookies and Milk

Brian showed Maddie how to dip half a cookie into milk and bite it off. Well, he walked away and came back a few minutes later to find about 10 half cookies on the table. He didn't show her what to do with the other half.

Mommies bed, Mommies bed!!

I've avoided having Maddie sleep in my bed for almost 3 years. Now when I go to put her down for the night she says Mommies bed, Mommies bed. It is very dangerous to sleep with her in my bed....for me. She has some very powerful kicks during the night. She's not as bad as she used to be but i can still hear her hit the rails of her toddler bed sometimes at night. I know it has to hurt, those things are thick solid wood. But I guess anyone who can sleep through my snoring can endure anything. hehehe.

Not much

Maddie has learned to take off her diaper. She's never really been interested in taking her clothes off before. But now I have to keep pants on her or she will take it off. I just looked over at her and it seems im going to have to wash all her pacifiers. Since she doesnt have a diaper on shes stuck them where the sun dont shine. She likes to pretend shes a horsey. It started off with nice horse sounds and she would rear up and neigh. Now all she does is scream a high pitched scream. I can hardly take it. When i have a headache its like shes tearing out my brain.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Well, it appears that while Maddie may look like Brian, she is all her mother. All three of us were playing on the bed before it was time to go to night-night. Brian was tickling Maddie and all of a sudden she rolled onto her stomach and said "tickle my back". That made us all laugh. Then when Brian was tickling her back she laid her head to one side and closed her eyes and had a grin on her face that said "I always get what I want". It was too cute.

Maddie had fun at the Cape Fear fair. She was not scared one bit.

Yours is bigger

Maddie wanted some ice cream one day. Papa made two bowls, a small one for her and a big one for himself. While Papa was putting the ice cream back in the freezer Maddie was at the table switching ice cream bowls with him. Papa turned back around and sat down to a small bowl of ice cream. Needless to say, Maddie got a big bowl of ice cream that night.
