Behind The Scenes

You may wonder why I post a hideous looking door on my blog. There is one word for that. MADISON. My child stays up, when she is supposed to be sleeping, for about an hour cleaning and organizing her room before she goes to sleep. (She is very OCD.) When we moved into our house there were air bubbles in the paintjob on the door. I think Madison thought she was fixing the problem, but actually made things worse. What is a mother to do?

The sad thing is that there is nothing I can do to stop her. I guess it all has to be sanded down and painted over eventually. Oh well...

Madison was very proud of the work she had done on her door. Little stinker!

Newest Hairstyle

Ever since Madison had enough hair, she has twirled it when she got tired to put herself to sleep. We thought that was a great self calming technique. It was great until her hair grew to be really really long. Madison has put one too many knots in her hair. I have not had to cut them out, but I do spend lots of time trying to comb them out. I still think I'm damaging her hair. A lot of hair still comes out with the knot. Madison twirls her hair like a mad women when she's tired and going to sleep. She really goes to town. I've seen her in action! I had to take a picture to remember the wonderful hairstyle she has come up with for her hair.
I don't think Aunt Caitlyn, who is a hair dresser, would be very happy with that knot! Any tips to get them out?

I think this is a precious picture of Madison--too bad she has that big knot in her hair!
