Madeline wrote her first word by herself the other day: Poop. I laughed, and when I asked her what it said she pointed to the letters and sounded it out: "Da-ddy"!
This was in the car: "Mom, the other day daddy took me to the liquor store and we got a lollipop"... oh really?
In primary, her teachers were teaching about the plan of salvation. They were explaining how Jesus's plan offers you a choice and Satan's plan offers no choice. Madeline raised her hand and said "well, my mom doesn't let me choose what to wear on Sunday!" Thanks for comparing me to Satan! What about the other 6 days of the week that I let her choose?
Adam and she have been discussing getting a guinea pig. Let me just say, I cannot handle a guinea pig right now so we haven't gotten one. The other day in the car, with all the black-lady attitude she could muster, she said "Mom, whats it gonna take to get my guinea pig!?" It doesn't sound that funny writing it down, but just trust me, it was hilarious.
We were over at my friends house and she was giving her girl some candy because she got a boo-boo. Madeline, obviously wanted a treat too but didn't get a boo-boo, tried to invoke some sympathy from my friend said matter-of-factly "Sometimes my dad hits me." What!? Nice way to throw your awesome dad under the bus just for a lollipop! If you know Adam, you know that is not true. In fact he is way nicer than I am. It would have been more believable if she said her mom hits her, which is also not true, but more believable, I guess. My friend who is a former elementary school teacher just burst into laughter and said "if I didn't know you guys so well I would be calling Social Services!"
Isn't my baby Joe so cute?! And aren't these pictures awesome!! I took a photography class from my amazing friend Lesley about, what, a year and 1/2 ago, already? I haven't done anything with it, until now and I am getting the bug again. That's pretty much how my hobbies go, I'm really into them for a while and then I totally drop them and I change to something else. Hopefully by the end of my life I will have mastered something! But I got out my camera yesterday and snapped these cuties! My focus is a little off in some pictures which makes me mad, but if anyone has any advice, please share! I want to improve! ... especially you Tiff!
