The Maddy funnies are piling up so I've got to write them down before I forget them all.
Here is a video of the saga of the animal cracker kitty cat. I love how the kitty cat has his own voice:
Maddy has been picking up lots of expressions from who knows where. The other day she was helping Aaron put up a gate we got for the stairs. He asked her to hand him something and she replied, "Hold on chica."
Maddy's prayer life has developed quite a bit. Up until just recently, I've been helping her say a prayer that she just repeats after me. Well one night she decided she wanted to say her own prayer, but she still didn't know what to say so I asked her to think of something she could tell God she was thankful for. She thought for a minute and then said, "My tee shirt and cupcakes." So we prayed about the tee shirt and cupcakes. One night at dinner she decided to pray. She thanked God for many members of the family by name and then concluded the prayer by saying, "and thank you for ponytails".
I've been trying to do a little Bible devotional activity with Maddy a few mornings a week. She just needs something to focus her brain power and energy and I found a free curriculum online. It is pretty good. Some of the illustrations are kind of odd, but I guess that's what you get for free. Anyway, the important part is that Maddy really enjoys it and is learning a lot from it. This week we've been talking about "God Made Me" and the story of Adam and Eve. So at supper she was telling Daddy and Tammy about what she learned. She told them that God made her and then she stated, "God's at church." So we had to explain that yes, we learn about God at church and he is there at church with us, but God is everywhere, not just at church.
Aaron has started the tradition of telling Maddy stories when he does knee stretches and massages with her. Maddy absolutely loves it. So one day she decided to give me a shoulder massage. She said, "I'm going to tell you a story. Mommy and Daddy got married....and a pumpkin." (This came from a story Aaron told her about me exploding a glass dish with pumpkin stew in it in Ft. Collins. She asks for this story every time it is story time.)
One night we were in Maddy's room getting her ready to go to bed. Randomly, she started giving Aaron a chiropractor adjustment. It was so funny because we didn't know what she was doing at first because she wanted him to cross his arms and then she'd push on his chest. I finally figured out that she'd seen the chiro adjust my back that way and she was giving him "pop pop" as she likes to call it.
This kid does the funniest stuff all day long. I wish I could remember it all, but I'm glad I can at least remember a few of the things that she does and says.
