The last week and a half has been very tough. I have just been in a rut and can't quite get out. Don't get me wrong the new job is great I really like it and the people are wonderful. The kids are good staying out of trouble most of the time. Jack managed to pick up a bad cold but he is hanging in there. I just can't quite make the blahs go away. I guess it also has to do with the fact it is March and still snowing. It snowed all day yesterday.
In an effort to make the blahs go away I have a few stories for you. But one at a time.
Lately I have been trying to get Madelynn to eat all table food. Some days I am successful and others not so good. I have noticed that she watches Kaitlynn and Jackson on how they eat and tries to copy them. So the other day I made spaghetti her favorite. I put it in a little bit bigger bowl about the size Kaitlynn and Jackson eat out of. I even gave her the size fork the kids use to see how she could do with it.
Little did I know...........As she was chewing Madelynn gave her fork a closer examination. She discovered that the top of the fork had a lion imprint on it. You almost knew the instant she discovered it. Her face lit up and she yells,"Mommy!"
When I asked her 'what?' she points to the fork and with all her might yells,"RAAAAAA!!!" Her best lion growl to date. All I could do was laugh.
As the pasta noodles were disappearing into her tummy, she discovered that the bottom of the bowl had circus animals and she saw a tiger. Needless to say that best growl came flying out of her mouth. Now that we have mastered the growling sounds and the animals associated with them I have been trying to work on the cow. It is slow going and I don't even know how to type the combinations of letters that make up the sound coming out. It comes close to what a cow might sound like spinning around in the dryer though.
TTFN~
