Moving stuff

Maddy loves to move stuff around. I'm not really sure why, but she does. We can be in the basement or up on the main floor - she will move anything that is about 10 times her size. :) She started with kitchen chairs. By the way, they are not easy for an adult to move. But when she puts her weight into it, she can actually move one completely to the other side of the eating area. All by herself.

FIrst official temper tantrum

Maddy has a quick temper - we know that. The funny thing is that we've seen  bits of her temper on and off for a little while now. Tonight, she threw her first official tantrum. I mean - throwing herself on the floor, legs kicking and crocodile tears and the whole bit. It was awesome!

Yea. The bad thing - Jim and I just looked at her like nothing was going on. It didn't stop her from doing it, but we got a kick out of it all.

I think she was a little shocked we didn't "fix it" right away. She stopped.

Yellow?

Maddy says "lello" for yellow now. Sometimes she can actually spit the right word out. Odd, but so cool.

Talking more

Jim and I have both noticed that Maddy is talking alot more now that her head is clear. It's nice. She just babbles all the time in the car. She is actually attempting more words. I think he latest one is Papa (not sure which grandfather she is talking about, but it fits all of them).

Some of her newest words are:
Papa
Mimi
Nini (still Jordan)
Mama (flat out clear)
Dadda (clear)
Dog (dggg)

Drinking from a tumbler?

I picked Maddy up a tad early today. When I got there, she had just finished snack. I was promptly informed that she was no officially drinking out of a cup and that I should let her do that at home.

I am seriously not sure of what magic they have at that school, but tonight she about drowned in milk. Why? I dunno. She didn't drink out of a cup for me. Hmmm. Something about school - they seem to be able to get my kids to do all sorts of stuff.

Kid is smart

Oh no... Maddy is too smart. She saw Jim and I giving the dogs commands today. Ya know - sit, down etc... She walked over to Carson and held her hand (palm up) to him. She, of course, could not speak to him. But he knew that he must obey. His look was priceless.

That thing my poop did

I noticed yesterday evening that Reagan had some "back-end issues". So I told her that she would not be able to have juice for dinner or breakfast because of that. Tonight, we were on the way home and she said, "hey mom, you know that thing that my poop did? do I have that anymore?"

Too cute.
