Madison got a touch of the stomach bug so she had to stay home from school this past Thursday. It was also my first MOMS meeting (it's a group that meets once a week at our church) so I was pretty disappointed. However, we made the best of it. I put Tyler down for a nap and let Madison pick what we would do.. She wanted her baby to sit in the bumbo just like "baby Ti-yer." She insisted that her baby wear a bib. She needed one too. Nana gave her this bib when she was first born.. It reads "My daddy is a Mechanical Engineer"... which he is! :)
Then she stole the baby's bib. I'm not sure why she thinks she needs to be wearing one.. it's not like I wear a bib when I feed her!
Madison calls Tyler (aside from "baby Ti-yer") her "baby sister." We are always telling her what a GREAT big sister she is so I'm guessing she assumes that he must be her baby sister. We are working on getting her to say "baby brother." (She smacked her head on her play table. It's now a nice shade of yellow right between her eyes.)
I was cooking spaghetti and Jason was doing what he normally does.. entertaining the babies. (For the record.. I hate the beard. I asked him the other day "why do you have that beard.. again?" He said he was being lazy. At least he's honest. He did clean it up a little for work and I'm waiting for him to clean it all right off his face!)
We attempted a group shot.. Let's just say she wasn't in the mood. :)
I must have done something special because Madison gave me flowers... again.
I have Madison's hair stuff in the drawer right behind her highchair. I like to do her hair while I've got her confined. I came out to breakfast already being served over the weekend and Jason had pulled her hair back with the bone from her Pebbles Halloween costume .. it cracked me up!
Madison's preschool does this cute thing with shapes. They make buddies out of the shape and the kids get to bring them home for the week. This week it's "Circle Joe."
I asked her what shape Joe was and she said a ball!!
Since I gave Madison a bad rap with her art last week I thought I would show the picture she brought home this week. I think it's very pretty! :)
I'm taking a picture of everything she brings home. There is only so much you can hang up or save. I take a picture, hang it up, and then rotate things out. At the end of the school year I am going to make a book on shutterfly with all of the pictures of art I took over the year. That way you don't have to feel so bad when you throw it away! I got this great idea from a friend in my MOMS group.
I got this art cable from PBK. I love it! You could probably make one if you are crafty!
Ok, so not only do we share a name but my hubby is a mechanical engineer as well! Funny story...my husband, and some of his co-workers, were taking a tour of a local childrens' home (employees can tour various charities before deciding which one to contribute to). The woman giving the tour was talking about their upcoming 5k race to benefit the home and asked if any of the guys were runners. My husband looked around and said "No, we are pretty much all nerds.". Cracked me up when he told me!
ReplyDeletewe have that same green flowery tea set!
ReplyDeleteand what a great idea about the kiddie art. i've taken pics of most of sydney's school art, never thought about making the photos into a book...brilliant! thanks for the tip!
Such sweet pictures... I have 3 girls, all big now, but I do remember the baby doll days.
ReplyDeleteMadison's baby must have been hungry! I was laughing at all the food on the bumbo tray! :) And I love that "mommy" Madison needed a bib as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea that you posted about all the pictures on your camera for the week, I think I need to do this!!
And thanks for sharing about taking pictures of all their art, I will have to remember this when Lauren starts school!!
madisons art is very pretty :) too bad i bought a clothesline too and its empty bc Alex doesnt do art :( I like your comments about the hubby beard although I wouldnt be too hard on him since you got pretty flowers! I also like the bumbo tray full pictures- too cute that Madison! Oh, and Circle Joe is so cute! what a great idea!
