What happens when a 4.5-year old...

finds your phone

May Maddy-isms

What are some of Maddy's favorite things to do and say?
Well... they are pretty funny, and odd.

1. Whenever she asks me for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g she follows it up with .....I'll be your best friend.

2. Her favorite prize from "I did what I was supposed and did not throw a fit prize bucket" .... sponges (aka scrubbies). Yes, she sifts through all the markers, crayons, and toys to find that one pack of sponges. (She also picks out these prizes at the store.)

3. Her favorite TV show you ask? -anything that involves pregnancy, birth, and babies. oh boy

4. What she says if someone asks her name? M-A-D-D-D-Y. Yup, spells it out almost every time.

This little girl is a unique little lady :)

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

I am forever in debt to you. I will mourn you and remember you for the rest of my days.

My Little Girl

Today we had little cousin Jimmy's first birthday party to go to. Before we went I wrapped up his super-cool new work bench and tossed Maddy the card and asked her to sign her name. I have done this 100 times... and 99 of those times I usually get a faint scribble that mostly lands on the couch, but this time... 

I got this. Amazing.

A Dollar Tree, A free hour, and a Sunday Morning

This is what happens when you drop mom off to get her hair done early on a Sunday morning.

A trunk full of Dollar Tree items...

 Ray said it was the only store open... 

So he decided to let a 4-yr old in charge of the shopping trip.

On Our Drive Home

After picking Maddy up from school, this conversation takes place in the car:

Maddy: "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to drive."

Me: "Sure honey, what color car do you want?"

Maddy looks around at the interior of her dad's car.

Maddy: "This one."

Me: "Ok, sounds good."
I think to myself, sure you can have this car when you are 16.

Maddy: "Yes, when I am 5 I am going to drive. I will take this car to Lily's house and go swimming. Then I will drive Lily back to our house for a sleepover."

Oh boy.... I'm in trouble.
