We are almost there. . . .1 month away. . . . . .can it really be true? Now when people ask me how old Maddie is I will have to say, "A year and a half!?!?!?" We are almost to the halfway point to 2! Wow!!! This crazy girl has been learning and changing so much (like all of my posts say) but I feel like she is this sassy little adult right now.

We are really encouraging Maddie to use her words now and it shows. She can say so many words now! We really need to watch the things that we say because she repeats absolutely everything!! I will ask her what she prefers to do, prefers to eat, etc and I am getting answers out of her. Our "baby" isnt such a baby anymore and that is mind blowing for me!
I was nervous going to work and taking her because she wasnt 100% sure of the kidcare there. Now, she gets so excited to go and will spend 3 hours in there!! I will sit outside the glass and watch her with the other kids and it is so funny. I am thankful that she can go in there and have a good time. Today, however, wasnt the best day for her! An older girl. . . .5yrs old. . . .was a bully and pushed Maddie down and chomped on 3 of her fingers! Needless to say I wasnt happy when I got a visit from one of the girls in there. I went to see Maddie, and she was of course upset. I enjoyed being able to snuggle and comfort her, but I thought for sure that I would be packing up my stuff and heading for home. I handed Maddie back to the workers to see if I could finish out my shift, and to my amazement, she was a tropper and pulled through! Maybe I was making more out of it than I should, but that is the first time someone walked up to me and told me my child was hurt. I handled it better than Papa Bear did. . . . .he was ready to elbow drop the 5yr old!! (Wait till she is 13 Pat!) These things are going to happen, and I realize that. I can just count my blessings that I was right down the hall and had the opportunity to give her a hug and a kiss, and go back to work!
Here are a some pictures of Miss Maddie at 17 months. . . .
Lunch date with Breonna
The girls blowing each other kisses
At the park loving the swings
As you can see on her face, she was going nuts on this thing!
Ella and Maddie on the swings
Hard to keep her hand still, but you can see the red marks/teeth marks on her fingers
After it is all said and done, she managed to bring home a work of art!
Another busy weekend. . . . .until next time!
