Two and a half

There's something special about a two-year-old and there seems to be even something more when it is your own child. Madelynne's personality is sassy, sincere, compassionate, expressive, and sweet. I see blends of both her father and I in every thing she does and says. Like when she gets mad, she huffs a bit, like I do sometimes. I see her carefree, humor that is like her father. She loves to dance...in fact, we dance a lot around our house. If there isn't music playing, she is creating her own. She makes up songs, she sings ones she knows, and she is imaginative and creative. I want to capture all these moments and treasure them safely in the back of my memory, because she is growing too fast. So here are a few timeless stories, and images, that have stood out this past month, as we get ready to celebrate two and a half.

Spooky! Uh-oh! Swiper! No swiping!

The coffee maker went off one morning and Madelynne said, "It's party time!".

One of her favorite shows is Bubble Guppies, and they have a song called "Time For Lunch". After we ask what time is it, she often says, "It's time for lunch." From the show. :)

What's that sound?

That one is my favorite.

I want some milk (mee-lk)

[Mama] She is my friend.

Uh-oh, monster coming. Oh no! A Bear!

Where did papa go?

P=papa was what she was calling grandpa and gramma. Always wants to talk to her grandma's.

In the middle of the night she cupped her hand around my face and said, "bless you" after I had a terrible coughing fit.

Twinkle-twinkle=stars

I want to see something.

And when they say the darnedest things...after Brad let one rip, Maddy looks at him and says, "Papa, you need to use the bathroom."
