Pooping on the toilet

Maddy pooped on the toilet tonight. Apparently she started grunting while Jim was giving her a bath and he whooshed her out of the tub and sat her down. She grunted and did the deed. He heee

My little grown up girl

Reagan is getting so grown up. I can't stand it. :( Where did my little girl go to? Last night, we picked out her outfit for PJ Day at school. She wanted her frog PJs and her frog stuffed animals and her frog hair clippy and her princess socks. Check. She laid them all out on her blanket with frogs on it before bed so she knew exactly what to put on in the morning.

She woke up this morning and was so excited about the whole thing. She said "do I get to put on my PJs now"? Yes dear. She got dressed on her own (including her striped pants for warmth).  When she got dressed, she said "and I did it all by myself". Yes you did baby. You did. Sniff sniff.

Dressing herself

Maddy is doing her best to dress herself completely. I am not sure if she is watching Reagan and wants to do what her big sister is doing or what. But it is hilarious. She actually leans over to get her clothes and tucks her head as if she's putting on her top. She will make all the right motions to put on her top and pants. Cute. She'll even grab her shoes and then undo the velcro and try to put them on too. So funny.

Maddy's a brut

I got a call from Rita today. "You might want to come get Maddy". :) Apparently she had fallen and gotten a pretty nasty bruise on her head. She had a crash collision with another child at day care and she had a really good knot on her forehead. Since I had just taken some pain meds, I was a little concerned about driving to get her. Once I got the picture, I knew I had to go.

Apparently, when Maddy wants something, she gets it. Rita explained that she had just put snack down and this other little boy had a toy she wanted. She wasn't sure which one was the driving force, but she was MOO-VIN' towards the target - that boy. She mowed him over, crashed into him knocking their heads together and ended up on top of him. Woo hoo Maddy won. :) Not really.

Anyway. She is fine, but even 12 hours later the bruise is gross.

New words

Maddy has some new words lately. While she is absolutely the queen of babbling, she is really starting to expand her vocabulary. Some good ones are: shoes, cup, milk (maa maa), Juice (duce), Mom (mamaaaaaa).

She is really good at communicating lately. When you ask her to do something, she often knows what you are talking about. My favorite answer is the "head-nod". If you say "do you want to", she will nod her head yes and then go to where-ever that item usually happens.

Tonight, we were playing in the bathroom with her toys and the door chime rang. She looked up at me immediately, then looked towards the door and then looked back at me. I said, do you want to go see? she nodded her head yes and then took off.

Four molars

Really? Maddy's back teeth are coming in. Actually one is already in. I was waiting on the front bottom two to fill in. I guess she had other things in mind.

Finally dressing herself

Reagan is officially dressing herself now. She can and is finally willing to do it. She's been able to do it for some time, but she's been wanting to dress herself more and more lately. I love it.
