Rock on poo poo girl!

Two poops today and both all by herself in the potty! I am so proud. She is very proud too! Our little girl is growing up!

Dry almost all day.

Madison stayed dry almost all day long! She used the potty all morning, and kept her pull up dry for two hours while we ran errands this morning. When we got home she whipped her pants down and peed a ton! I am so proud of her! She has not pooped in her pull-ups in 2 days. I think we are close to potty training success. I have found it is easier not to pressure her and she is doing it all by herself!

Under the Big Top

There were lion and tigers and bears... No, wait... I mean camels and elephants, and ponies! And Madison rode them all. I guess I never realized just how big an elephant, or a camel for that matter, was. When you are on top of one looking down it is a different story! I don't think Madison is afraid of anything. She hopped right on the camel with me, and since we had so much fun I thought Daddy should experience the elephant! Madison definatley looked more comfortable than he did, but it wasn't exactly a smooth ride. She rode the ponies all by herself and was really proud. It was a great time, but we learned a lesson. Bring cash... lots of cash. Madison was really good. She only tried to runfrom us once b/c she really wanted to play with some o the animals in the act. She got to wave and blow kisses and did ok after that. Once it was over she rode the ponies again and went down a reall big slide. I think she was the smallest one on it, but loved every minute of it. She tried to wrestle a little boy on the moon bounce... what a bully! On the way out she high-fived a clown and knocked him down... 3 souveneirs, a bloody lip and stinky clothes later we left to come home! Mamaw caught the ice cream "fruck" so there was a sponge bob waiting for Madison. She got a really good bath tonight and made me tell her stories about the circus 3 times instead of reading books. She is now dreaming about her big top experience!

Happy Birthday Ada!

Today Madison went to Ada's birthday party. They had it at the playroom and it was a blast. i had been meaning to try it out, but hadn't gotten there yet. We will definately be going back, and a years membership is only $87.00 so if she continues to love it we may join in the winter. She hit the floor running literally and took off. She was busy running, jumping, bouncing, and sliding. There was tons to do and I am thinking about having Madison's party there next year! It would be tons of fun!! I took lots of pictures, so I will ofcourse put some up for you to enjoy!

Strawberry MaddieKate!

I have decided I am thankful that Belvedere doesn't have a weigh in rule. I said jokingly that they should weight kids when they arrive and when they leave b/c you can't realistically put a child in a field with berries and expect them not to eat them! I felt like they were disappearing from the tra as fast as I was abe to pick them! We played in a moon bounce that madison called lucky until the tractor came to pick us up. We had a hayride to the field and picked our hearts out, a quick rde back to the store and off we went! I founf some really good toasted corn that was barbeque flavored.... they taste just like fritos minus the grease. Juicy berries lead to tons of laundry too, so that's my new project... Madison's new saying is "Just one minute" She uses it if she wants something and I tell her not right now, she also tells me "not yet" when I ask her if she is done with something, and pretend play has been mastered with her! There is never a dull moment here!
