Just a "quick" note for a Maddie update:
For memory keeping purposes (because I can't remember what happened yesterday), I will give a little update on Maddie. She is super smart. She knows her alphabet and can recognize many of the letters and some numbers too. She loves singing songs and her favorite right now is "Jesus Loves Me". Often, though, she is too smart. But when she's trying to get out of something and she gives that little grin, who can stay mad? (which is the problem)
Maddie now thinks that if she closes her eyes she is invisible. Which means she can do whatever she wants. So whenever the desire to be naughty and not listen arises, she simply closes her eyes and the proceeds with whatever it is that makes her happy and drives Mommy crazy. It must also affect her hearing, because when she's "invisible" she can't hear a word I'm saying. Gotta love her.
Maddie and I were sitting on the couch, watching Toy Story. She turns to me and out of no where tells me she was naughty at church last night. So I thought, okay this is good. She is feeling bad about what she did. So I told her that next time she can be good. She looks at me and says "no" and then turns back to her movie. So I guess she wasn't trying to clear her conscience, but just simply stating a fact.
She has also started biting her nails. It's weird. How do kids pick up these habits? Well, at least I don't have to cut them anymore.
