In Fayetteville

Madeline went to her grandparents this weekend. She ate grapes right off the vine as you can see by the drool I believe she enjoyed them! They also went to a local farm where a little pony and Madeline shared stares. She is still recovering from a cold this week and we hope to be well and ready to fly to see Paul in Kansas on Thursday!

Beach

Madeline loves the ocean! She wanted to hold her grandmoms hand just in case but she loved the water. So much so her dress was very ocean wet when we returned.

A Bee and a Baby

I had Madeline try on her Halloween costume, which she wasn't too sure of, hopefully she'll get used to it before Oct 31! The other picture is Madeline feeding her baby doll, which used to be mine when I was little!

New Toys

So I thought I would wait until I gave Madeline these to play with while in Charlotte but just couldn't wait. She loves her dollhouse and puts all the people and furniture inside the house and then throws them outside the house. We are working on the word GENTLE! A baby stroller is another new addition and she pushes it inside and out and each day is learning how to put the babydoll in correctly (not upside down!) All finds from consignment sales!

Trying on Shoes

I walk into the den and someone put my running shoes on all by herself. She is really into tryinf on grownup shoes these days. She had a pair of my heels on the other day. If the shoes are sitting around you can bet Madeline will try them on. A girl that loves shoes, she truly is my daughter!

Duck Towel

For a little treat I bought Madeline a new duck towel, who knew this would cause this much entertainment. But it was and still is worth it. A fashion show came on. She now doesn't mind as much getting out of the bathtub since she gets to wrap up in her duck. She wiggles everywhere while in it and then it makes it very challenging to put on a diaper.

Discovery Place

Madeline, Alli, Caden, Kimberly, and myself went to Discovery Place downtown Charlotte to play. Only half of the exhibits were open but among them was a Kids play area which Madeline loved, a ship wreckage area with lots of recovered artifacts and then we watched the IMAX film Under the Sea. The film showed lots of underwater sealife and might of been a little advanced for our little ones but none the less it was a fun adventure day!
