We had one of those weekends that was just average. You know, one of those where nothing super great happened and nothing totally terrible happened either. Which I am thankful that nothing totally terrible happened. We just did our thing and rocked out our weekend Bethel Style....whatever that might be. So, here are some bits and pieces from our weekend.
Tumbling
Each class is started by the parents sitting in a circle with their child perched his or her lap. We then sing three songs as we make hand motions for or with our child. Well, this is how it is supposed to begin and everyone else seems to follow these instructions except for one person....Madison.
We are the parents that have the child that is running amok. (Amok...what a great word.) If she's not standing in the middle of the circle dancing then she's running to slide down the slide or show us her stuff on the balance beam. Everyone is singing happily and joyfully while I chase Madison to bring her back to the circle. These are the three longest songs ever, or at least they seem to be.
Any who, Madison wanted nothing to do with singing, circle time or tumbling on Saturday. She slid down the slide about four times and walked across the balance beam once. Then, she was off. Off to the treadmills. Hum, wonder where she gets that, Nana?
We stayed for about fifteen minutes and we were out.
Babies
We like to play babies and we play babies a lot. Madison is already using her imagination while we play. She feeds them, allowing several bites and sucks from their bottles for herself. She takes them on walks in the stroller, until she gets distracted by something she walks by. She is also great at tucking them into bed.
And kissing her babies goodnight.
She even knows when it's time to be firm with her babies and show them who is boss. I wonder where she gets that from?
She's a good little mommy. I know where she gets this from. *wink* *wink*
And like all good parents you just need your space sometimes and you have to kick the kids off the couch. She got this from Daddy.
Potty
Madison has been showing signs that potty training may be in the near future. She says potty which sounds like "poppy" and uses sign language to say potty and she has began to pull on her diaper and asking to be changed. Even though we have signs we still aren't close to even begin the process of potty training just yet. However, we did introduce her to her new potty. I just wanted to have it around so her and her potty could become acquainted.
Look at this poor little face, saying Mom really? You're taking pictures now?
Yes, honey, get use to it.
Laundry
Mr. Foster was our Economics teacher in high school. On the chalkboard he always wrote these words: There's no such thing as a free lunch. Ryan and I laugh because we both had him and we both remember these words. Along with "Gravy on both?", the lunch lady said that, not Mr. Foster.
Anyway, we are prepared to pass these words of wisdom on to our Madison. Baby girl isn't too young to be doing chores, right?
Hey, you have to take advantage of these early years when they think that chores are fun. Although, I'm not quite sure she thinks this is fun. Look at her face. It's as if she's asking, how come you get to take pictures while Daddy and I are doing the laundry?
Just do as I say child...don't ask questions.
I run a tight ship.
Photoshop
I played around a little bit with Photoshop on Sunday while Madison took a three hour nap. These are my creations....

On Sunday, it dawned on me that Easter is only a week away. I had intended to send out a cute little Easter card. If I had I might of used the picture above but guess I missed the boat on that one. Whoops!
Goodnight
Every night Ryan and I tiptoe into Madison's room to see her before we go to sleep. This is exactly how we have found her the past few nights.
It is a good night.
Love,
K
