A Typical Day At The Farm

Here's Maddie at Maga and Ampa's house. She loves to be out at the farm. She was on her way to go see the new piglet whom she calls Charlotte.

Charlotte got into the pin with the bigger pigs. Madison was laughing hysterically because it was so funny watching Daddy & Ampa chase Charlotte.

Here's Madison with her best buddy, Polly.

Madison likes to wear our shoes. She looks so funny. Since she knows how to put her shoes on, it seems like she is constantly switching shoes every few minutes. She tries to tie her shoes but gets so frustrated when she's unable to. But we're still learning.

Madison's new adventure is to climb out of her crib. After she climbed out twice, I decided to ask her how she does it. Maddie's response was: "Look at me Mommy" and started to laugh. What she does is put one leg over the rail, starts to hop with the other just high enough to give her a boost and then she pulls herself over to the other side. After my lesson on how to escape a crib, she says: "Good job Maddie"!!! She is very proud of her new accomplishment but she doesn't understand that she can get hurt in the process. Jon and I are going turn her bed into a toddler bed soon. So to make it fun, I think I'm going to buy her a new bedding.

Maddie is growing bigger and smarter everyday. She is very impatient sometimes so I'm always asking her to be patient. So if Jon and I call her more than once, she tells us to be patient. I guess we have to practice what we preach. When she gets frustrated/impatient, I give her a look and she automatically says: "I know, be patient Maddie". She cracks me up.

Last week, when I got home from work she walked up to me and said: "Mama, I a disciple- Alelulah and AMEN"! My heart was so touched. My mom bought her Christian DVDs and it's kids singing church songs. Maddie LOVES to sing along and dance. She tells us she sings and dances for Jesus. She is so special and I just love her with all my heart.
