Maybe Next Time Daddy

Walking into Wyncote for dinner the other night Madeline and Daddy were having a conversation about this recent baseball game defeats...

Madeline: Daddy...you were coach at baseball game today?

Daddy: Yes Madeline, Daddy was coaching today.

M: You win Daddy??

D: No, Madeline, we didn't win the game today. :(

M: That's okay Daddy...maybe your team win next time Daddy. :)

How cute is that???

No More Yellow!

Jason has been promising Madeline a bumblebee shirt... (he is coaching Oxford "Hornets" Baseball)

This was their conversation tonight while he was reading books with her at bedtime...

Madeline: "Daddy, you get me a bumblebee shirt??"

Daddy: "Sure Madeline...What color do you want?"

M: "Pink!"

D: "Pink...you don't want yellow?"
(she has LOVED yellow for sooo long!)

M: "No...pink...I like pink!"

D: "Yellow isn't your favorite color anymore?"

M: "No...Doggies pee-pee yellow!"

"Dress-Up"

Here are a few pictures of Madeline playing "dress-up" in my VERY old dance costumes from when I took lessons...

She has been having a blast tapping away!

"I'm Older!"

Back in October when Madeline had her 2nd birthday party she got a Fancy Nancy game as well as a few other classics....Chutes & Ladders...Candy Land...

I told Madeline, "We will play the Nancy Fancy game when you are older (it was age 3+)...It is too hard for you right now".

She would ask about it for a week or two but finally stopped asking...Today, 5 months later she opened the cabinet and took it out...I asked her if she wanted to play it...

She started screaming..."I'm older, I'm older!!!" When Jason came home that was the first thing she told him..."I'm older Daddy!!"

So...they remember EVERYTHING you tell them...they cannot be fooled!!

Snow Days!

The snow was very powdery so it was very difficult to make a snowman...We tried!

Her first snow angel!



She's getting too big for her sled!

Was that a Clue??

Today, around noon, while we were on our "snow day," some boys rang our doorbell asking if we wanted our driveway shoveled....Madeline yells out..."DINNER!"

Was that a clue that we should cook for ourselves a little more??

Of course she's smiling...We're at McDonalds!!

Chicken!!

Madeline's new favorite movie to watch is Annie...which is mainly my fault since I introduced her to the CD while riding in the car....

Anyway...she loves the movie and if you know the plot, you know that "Rooster and Lilly" are the characters that try to act as Annie's parents to gain the $50,000 smackers!

While watching the other day, Rooster enters into the scene and Madeline screams..."Chicken!!"

Hide and Seek

One afternoon, a few days ago, we caught Madeline on video playing Hide and Seek...a game she has become obsessed with! She is so funny because she hides wherever the "hider" hid last and always makes sure you are counting! (ignore the MTV in the background...I can't believe we didn't have on Calliou, Dora, and Max & Ruby like usual! Check it out below!!
