So I'm giving this blog thing a try. Why not...everyone else is doing it. And what better time? ~ Our sweet Maddy Moo (I hope she doesn't hate me someday because I call her that) turned two years old this month. I know every parent says it / thinks it - but Holy MOLY - where the frick did that time go?!?!
She's such a big girl! ~ Surprising us every day with her brilliance. She busted out a couple of long sentences this weekend. You have to admit this is impressive for a 'just turned 2'-er:
"What are you doing now, Mommy?"
&
"Oh no, it's not working now."
~eh? eh? - I'm telling you - this girl is a smarty pants McGee! (Much like her big sister!)
Izzy's favorite word of the week is 'yesterday'. She uses it every chance she gets - whether whatever she's talking about actually happened yesterday or earlier today or 'one time' months ago. (She also likes to say 'one time' quite a bit - thankfully she doesn't say it like the guy on Johnny Dangerously. (~Any '80's Michael Keaton movie fans out there?) :)
We are thrilled to be in our 3rd week of smooth-sailing bedtimes. We cut out Izzy's naps a few weeks ago & the struggle we had been - oh, let's just be dramatic - agonizing over for the last 6 months or so, officially passed! YAY! ~There were nights that little chick was up until almost 11pm! ~ Keeping poor Maddy awake too - throwing books & toys in her crib, repeated attempts to be 'awake' with Mommy & Daddy, etc. So now, while we feel a little regretful when she looks like she's ready to crash out early, we're loving that she actually quiets down with story time & both girls are snoozing happily by 8:30. Izzy falls asleep right away it seems - Maddy stays awake 'reading' her books. No less than three in the stack next to her - her 'gagak' blanket over her legs, & several 'friends' sitting next to her (Peter Rabbit, Cabbage Patch Kid (Selina), Puppy, and various other stuffed animals). We hear her flipping & 'reading' the stories aloud to her friends for a good 10-15 minutes before she snuggles down to sleep. -Yep - too cute. :)
