Maddie-ism -part who knows what

So my mom stopped over for lunch today and brought us some burgers and fries. We are all sitting at the kitchen table eatting and MJ knows something is amiss. My mom typically doesn't come over for lunch because she is working. We usually go shopping and then eat out somewhere. MJ always knows eatting comes after the shopping.

So we are sitting at the table, and she is quizzing my mom as to why she is at the house, are we going shopping... a million questions. Finally, my mom says, "Mimi is working today, honey. We aren't doing the shopping today -- so, Mimi brought you the eatting".

MJ looked at her, shook her head and said 'So, Mimi, what is it with this job and our shopping?"

My mom said, "I am so sorry that my job is interferring with our shopping."

MJ said, "thats ok, Mimi".

So, I guess Mimi will be quitting her jobby job for some more shopping time with MJ because apparently she doesn't get enough :)

Just a day...and a Maddieism

Well today was just that... a day! Very regular and quiet. I went shopping with my cousin Cheryl for awhile, and that was fun. However, Madelyn had no nap... so that made for some interesting moments.

Here is a Maddieism for the day. We went to the grocery store, and heaven knows this is feat in and of itself! So I had Lauren in my cart in her carrier, and Cheryl had Maddie in her cart. In the check out, they always give the little ones a helium filled balloon tied loosely to a safety pop-sucker. They make a big deal out of it and ask the kid what color they want, yada yada.

So we are both loading the groceries in the car and the kids are still in the carts, and we hear Maddie with her over-dramatic tone say, "OH NO! MY BALLOON ! IT FELL DOWN!"

Of course, it did not fall down... it fell UP, and UP and UP and it was gone.

We look at her and these gigantic crocodile tears come and she can't see it anywhere... she has no clue where it went! We are pointing in the air trying to show her that it floated away and she is just sobbing. She was still holding the safety pop so, apparently the ribbon just unraveled from it and off the balloon went to balloon heaven.

Needless to say, Cheryl went in and got her another balloon. I was all ready to let her learn a lesson about being careful with things people give you and, I guess a lesson about helium balloons in general! LOL!

Luckily for Maddie, Cheryl was the hero... and brought her back another balloon - and another safety pop.

Here is a layout I did today with some great photos of Lauren rolling over! She is all over the place right now, and babbling up a storm!

I used Amy Leigh's Going in Circles Kit for this one.

Also, I got some good news today. I found out that my Beautiful Smile layout is going to be featured in the GDS newsletter! How sweet! Also, Mrs. Wresh was unable to pick the winner for the "Letter to Me" challenge. They were all so good, so emotional and heart-felt, she said she couldn't say one was better than the next. So we all got free tin templates from her. Thank you again Mrs. Wresh! It was a fun layout to do - very different from my norm - and sometimes its nice to change it up some!

Maddie-ism

Every night when I put Maddie in bed, she will say to me, "Lay wif me mama?"

Who could say no?

So, I climb up into her bed and I say, "You first!"

She says, "No, mama, you first!"

So, I say, "Starlight, Starbright ....."

Then she says it too. "Starlight, starbright, star I see tonite, wish I might, wish I might, have the wish I wish to night... and then I pick one and I make a wish, mama"

Every night I whisper to her, "What did you wish for baby?", and she never answers me.

Until last night.

I whispered, "What did you wish for baby?"

She whispered back, "Mama, I wish for choc-o-lit."

A girl after my own heart I tell ya!

A Maddie-ism

Ok, this isn't so much as a Maddie-ism as it is just ridiculous things my kid says that cracks me up.

So last night we were eating dinner at my mom's house (spaghetti - yummo!), and she is kind of playing around, not eating. So I turn to her and say, "Ok, now its time to eat. Get a bite!"

She picks up her spoons and says, "I'm gettin my sketty on!".

I turned to my sister Becky (or Aunt B) and say "Did she really just say that?"

And Maddie says something like "I know it!"

All I could do was crack up, and say, "Yea, babe, you get your sketty on!"

Another Maddie-ism

This morning I gave her a sippy cup full of milk. She is half asleep, walks into the living room, climbs on the couch and sits the sup on the end table.

The cup is wobbling back and forth like a penndulum.

She looks at it with a very serious face, and says, "Settle down, just settle down!"

Guess I must say that too much!

Maddie-ism

Let me set the stage.......... We are at my moms, and she hasn't gone to the potty in awhile. I call her to see if she has to go, and of course, she says no. I tell her we are going to try anyway, and she says no. So she is on the potty, and I am trying to explain to her that I am the one in charge (funny in itself).

So, I ask a question in the form of a sentence in true teacher style, "I am the mommy and you are the............." - pausing to wait for the correct answer.

and she says "super sleuth."

All I can muster up is, "Yes, you are a super sleuth, peanut!"
