(My Goofy Kids...)Lately Madison has been expanding her vocabulary. The things that come out of her mouth are quite amazing. Every day when Cory comes home work all I talk about are the funny things that Madison has said/done. I notice that a lot of the things that she says and does are exactly what Cory or myself do. I don't want to ever forget the funny things Madison does, so this is the reason for my post. The best way to lay it all out is in a list... sorry folks!
* "Get off of me Boy!" she says while Hyrum is trying to crawl on top of her. (Cory often refers to Hyrum as "Boy".
* "We were watching General Conference last weekend and she couldn't find President Packer during a session. During the session, she leans over with her face in her hands saying, "Oh no, where did my President Packer go? Oh man, I lost him!"
*While getting in the car as a family the other day Madison noticed that Cory had an "owie" on his finger. She pointed to his finger and said, "Oh shoot Daddy! Oh shoot!" We asked her what was wrong, we'd never heard her say THAT before. She said, "Oh shoot Daddy, you have an owie on your finger!" (I guess we better watch what we're saying around our home... its a good thing that's the worst thing we say when we're mad.)
*Madison was helping Cory move a family in our ward one night. As he and Madi were helping the moving truck back out she told Cory, "Daddy, Hyrum would really like this big truck!"
*Madison notices that we put baby powder on Hyrum regularly. I guess she has felt a little left out. She came to me one day (as I got a whiff of baby powder freshness) after going to the bathroom by herself, "Mommy, I went potty and then I put powder on myself!" Very proud little girl.
*Madison is HILARIOUS at night. It takes her about an hour to fall asleep after she gets into bed. She gets up, cleans her room, puts her friends to bed, read them a story, sings songs, and the list goes on and on. I have to tell you, its very entertaining for Cory and I both. We just listen to her while we are reading in the family room.... yes, she is that loud, we can hear her from down the hall. Last night I heard Madi say, "No, I said no! No, I said no!" I don't know what she was talking about but Cory just looked at me with a smile. And I had to admit that yes, that is one of the things I usually tell her during the day. Oh, how I wish I could have had her mimic something sweeter!
Throughout this past month I've realized, and been grateful for my children. Madison and Hyrum are learning and growing so fast. They are at different stages, obviously, but they are both sponges! Hyrum is just so eager to stand on his own two feet... I wouldn't doubt that he could be walking before his 1st birthday. And Madison just soaks up everything she hears and sees. It makes my role as a mother more important as I make sure to fill their ears and eyes with good things. I need to be an example of the better, not the worst. My children are precious to me, and I am continually grateful for their good health and development!
