I fail and Thanksgiving

So I totally failed at writing a blog entry everyday for the month. Oh well.

We had a nice week off last week, where we went to my Mom's in Maine. Madelyn had a great time. She got to play with the swing set, Baxter, Crazy, my Mom and Grandpa Jeff. It even snowed! It snowed 9 inches, so we played in the snow too.

Here are a few photos that were from my phone, when I can I will upload the ones from my camera.

Madelyn on the swing!

Love

This is what I currently see. I love it. I love her. It still amazes me that I can love someone as much as I love her.

Halloween

I am glad that Madelyn was not older this Halloween because it sucked was not great. Since the snow storm had come through over the weekend, there were so many downed power lines, trees, and no power that they cancelled Halloween. Our mayor decided he was not going to reschedule it either.

So poor Madelyn was all dressed up and ready but could not go door to door. My brother and his wife were over though and they helped make it fun. We had Madelyn go around the living room and trick or treat to us! It was cute and honestly she was SUPER excited. She even managed to say something that sounded like "trick or treat".

They left to go to a concert and we were feeling pretty down for Madelyn. Although, I don't think she even noticed. So we packed her up and brought her to her cousins house. They had their light on and had a few trick or treaters so we figured we could hang. Madelyn went to one of the neighbor's houses there.

She then got to play with her cousin. They ran around SCREAMING for most of the night lol. It was actually very amusing. They eventually calmed down and I got several pics of them being very cute. Hopefully next year will be better, because by then, she might actually understand what you do on Halloween!

National Blog Posting Month

So it is National Blog Posting Month, basically you try and post everyday for a month. I am already two days behind but I thought it would be fun to try it. So here is my first..

So Last weekend we got snow. It was the first time in more then 100 years we had snow on Halloween. Madelyn thought it was really fun. We took her out the night it snowed and she loved catching the snow on her tongue. She also like to eat the snow, I warned her several times to not eat the yellow snow!!! Hopefully she remembers that important fact.. :)

She also tried to help Daddy shovel, it was funny. She decided supervising him was better! The next day, she tried to help me shovel and ended up just walking around and "dropping" into the snow. It was really fun watching her in the snow. Last year she was just to young to understand what snow was and what was going on. But this year, she thought it was very cool. She wanted to go out in it all day.

Seems like she will be like her Momma, because I love snow. I love the way it looks and feels. I used to love to play in it and always had fun. I hope she grows up to appreciate the different seasons we have here and not feel burdened by them when they come around.

Joy

We travel the same way home from my Gram's every time we are there. This past Saturday as I was driving, I decided I wanted to stop at the playground that is on the way. Eric is was up to it and I knew Madelyn would be happy. So we stopped.

Madelyn went down and up slides, played in the sand, ran around and swung. She loves the swings, they are her favorite. She never wants to get off and giggles just about the entire time she on them. Although this trip, she went up and down a slide about a million times. She was excited because she could climb to it on her own and it was fairly small.

We didn't have the regular camera, just my cell, but of course we still snapped some shots. Here is my darling daughter expressing her joy of the swings..

Proud

This morning I was very proud of my wonderful daughter.
We have been on the maybe we are potty training ride for a while now. We sit her on her potty all the time and she knows what it is. Daycare has her sit every diaper change as well. She has gone a few times at home and a few times at daycare. But we have not been very consistent with it.

So last night, Madelyn started yelling "peeeee" at me. So I asked her if she had to go pee, her response was to try and take her jammies off. So I got them off and took off her diaper. Put her on the potty and she indeed went "peeeeee"! She was so happy, we were so happy.

I told her after that, to let me know whenever she had to go pee and we would. She smiled, I wasn't sure if she knew what I was talking about but what the heck right!?

So this morning, after we woke up, I asked her if she had to pee. She jumped off the bed and made a beeline for the bathroom. I took off the jammies and the diaper. She said on the potty and peed!

I am so proud of her, she is really starting to get this whole potty business. I hope it keeps up! She hates wearing a diaper and I hate paying for them :)
