Another long week has come to a close, well almost! Pat was in CA this week and Maddie and I had the house to ourselves! It is never an easy job holding down the fort by yourself for a week, but we survived. I have also learned just how much of am impact I am having on Miss Maddie.
Example #1 -
Me -"Maddie, what do you want to do today?"
Maddie - "Go to Y, sleep, Elmo, Pedi"
First of all, she already knows our schedule by heart! Secondly, what 2 year old requests a pedi daily? Yes, I have painted her toes before, but every time I ask her what she wants to do, she requests one! I may have to start charging her!
Example #2 -
Me - "Maddie lets go to the grocery store!"
Maddie - "Wait Mama, I need my purse!"
I dont carry a purse around much anymore. If I am heading to work I just bring a small pouch with my license in it, so she doesnt see me with a purse all the time. HOWEVER, when she saw me and my purse ready to go to the store, she dug through her toy bin and found hers. I put her in her car seat and she starts digging through her purse searching for something. . . . .finally she says to me, "Mama, I drive!" She pulled out her plastic set of keys!
Example #3
Without Pat being here to keep her occupied, I rely on Mickey and Elmo to entertain her so that I can get ready for work! (dont judge!) Apparently they were not doing a good job, because I found Maddie in the bathroom with her step stool starting at me. I asked her if she needed something and she says, "No mama, I just want to watch you!" She climbed up her stool and stood there as I put on my make-up and did my hair. When I was finished. . . . "Oh mama. . .beautiful!!" Melts my heart every time.
Where does she get that stubborn, sassy, loving behavior from . . .ME! She is my little mini-me!
Spunky lil' rascal!
DIVA
Now this is one thing I didnt teach her how to do . . .EAT! She is messy like her daddy!
