"Don't pee your panties. That's not nice."......and other stuff


If Maddy had an advice column, here are some of the things she'd tell you:

Eat what you want for breakfast. Recent breakfast requests from Maddy have included: marshmallows, mac n cheese, and Gatorade. The all time most disgusting request, however was fish sticks.  Well....fish sticks are healthy so she got 'em for breakfast. Just as long as I don't have to eat them for breakfast (which she tired to encourage me to do) I'm fine with it.

Give equal treatment to all. Maddy's idea of equal treatment is that we all have to do the same thing, wear the same thing, or go the same place at the same time. One day Maddy, Seal (the cat), and I all had to wear bibs. Today Maddy, a stuffed dog, and I all had to wear headbands, or, as Maddy likes to call them "rubber bands". She also gets very upset if we go on a walk or a run without the dogs. They are lucky to have her for their advocate.

If your at a loss for something to watch "Frosty the Snowman" and "Tom and Jerry" never get old. NEVER. If allowed, Maddy would watch "Frosty" 20 times in a row---maybe more. "Tom and Jerry" is her absolute favorite. We occasionally check out a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon DVD from the library. Often, when we are in the library, Maddy will say in a very loud voice, "Want to look at the Tom and Jerry boobies!" To which I reply in a loud voice, "Okay, lets go look at the MOVIES."

"Don't pee your panties. That's not nice." This advice was given after she did pee her panties. We have been trying to potty train and so far it's gone pretty much no where. Occasionally Maddy will decide to do her business in the potty, but most of the time she let's us know she needs to go after it is waaaayyyyy to late. Oh, and if you ever happen to poop your panties in public, take a cue from Maddy and quickly exclaim, "Ohhhhhh! Gummy bears everywhere!" Hey, someone might fall for that.

HAHAHAHAH!!!! Love the Maddy-isms!!!! She's super!

On another note, how does potty training go with the splints? If she is peeing her panties, does she get the splints wet too?

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
