No stick Mommy

Madeline asked for grapes in her bowl. But "no stick." What in the world did she mean by that? She kept saying, "no stick." Then I asked her what she meant and she said emphatically "no gray stick." Then I realized...Madeline calls tan or brown "gray."

This is what she meant. 😂

Things Madeline Says that Crack Us UP!

"Paper toilet!" - toilet paper

"Daddy can reach that with his long, long, long arm."

"because I'm a baby."

"gray" - tan

"noogles"  - noodles

"This is Anna Claire's red school and her yellow school."  - ROES

"Can you take a bottom picture?" - pic of her bottom

"Can I have my dressed?"  - Can I get dressed?

"Let's put on my dressed."  - Let's put on my outfit.

"I have a bottom." - I'm not wearing any clothes.

Eva birthday

Madeline had so much fun at her friend Eva's party. She was a little intimidated by the inflatable at first but ended up loving it at the end.

I don't like Full House

This morning Madeline brought me the Full House DVD set and said, "Mommy, can you put in Full House please?" 

I said, "Sure!"

Both girls said, "Yay!"

As I'm putting in the DVD Madeline says, "I don't like Full House." 😳

Mmm...puppy smells good

Because I want to remember this sweetness..

Me: Let Mommy see your fluffy puppy for a minute. I'm gonna spray him with this lavender spray so you can sleep better (hands me puppy...psssk...psssk...psssk...I spray puppy with DIY lav EO spray and give back to her). Now I want you to sniff your puppy. He smells good.
Madeline: Ok Mommy. (Sniffs) Mmmm...he smells great!
Me: He does smell great. Keep sniffing him and it'll help you sleep. Good night. I love you.
Madeline: Ok. Good night Mommy. (Lights off). I'm awake. It's not time to get up. Mommy said good night. Mmmm...you smell good puppy. (Quiet)

Snow Day!

I took Madeline to the window to see the snow this morning and she smiled and said, "Snow day! Yay! Can we pway in it?" So of course, we did!

I'm Snow White. I'm not Snow White.

"I'm Snow White. I'm not Snow White," Madeline repeated, walking through the house with ACs Elsa earmuffs on.

AC and I both agreed that statement perfectly sums up where Madeline is right now. Bipolar two-year-old.

She'll ask for milk and when you return with it she'll holler "I don't want milk." Alrighty then.

She asks for her jacket and when you go to put it on her "I don't want my jacket."

Instead of getting angry we are learning to have sense of humor about it as much as possible, because one day soon we'll look back and miss this age. Not yet, but one day...ha.

Update 2-8-16

AC and I have started racing each other to say Madeline's catch phrase "I'm Snow White. I'm not Snow White" whenever she goes two-year-old bipolar on us. Like just now, Madeline said "I don't like that show" referring to the Bubble Guppies. So AC changed the channel. Madeline hollered, "Wait! I like that show!" And AC looked at me without missing a beat and said, "I'm Snow White. I'm not Snow White!"
