Funny Madelyn Girl...

Two funnies from the funny girl....

#1--Tonight, I was sitting here at the computer checking my email when she walked up and asked me what something was here on my desk next to me. It was a button from my new pants that I put on this morning. They were new pants and I had cut off all the tags and the extra little button they put with things in case you lose one. I had used the scissors and they were still laying there. Obviously the scissors are off limits to Madelyn and she knows I keep them in a high place. Well, out of the corner of my mommy-watching eye I see her getting ready to pick up the scissors. I immediately turn my head to her getting ready to tell her to leave them alone and take them away from her. She didn't even give me a chance to speak and says, "Leave them alone, right?" She knew I was going to tell her exactly what she said.

#2--Last night we were laying in my bed. I was studying...she was watching cartoons. She was very still, quiet. and mellow and I thought for sure she would fall asleep any second. This is how the scene went:

Backyardigans doing their singing thing and doing the hokey-pokey. Madelyn is listening intently and I am engrossed in translating foreign currency. Out of the calm quiet, Madelyn looks up at me while the Backyardigans are working the hokey-pokey and says, "Do you think I should do that with them?" (said very seriously). I just started cracking up. She's still very mellow and doesn't laugh with me. I say, "Well, if you want to." She says, "Kind of!" But she doesn't get up and hokey-pokey. She continues to lay there and falls asleep shortly after. Cutie girl!!
