Princess Madi...

It has been a really long time since I have posted the funny things my kids say and do so I thought I would do that tonight.

A couple months ago the following conversation happened during sacrament meeting...

Madi: What do boys have?

Me: What do you mean?

Madi: You know, girls have vaginas, what do boys have?

Derrick: CARS!

Do you think she'll be confused when she starts dating?

 

We were watching Legacy as a family a few Sunday's ago and it came to the part where Eliza goes to the field to pray about the two men.  Madi asked what she was doing so I explained that before we marry someone we need to pray about it and ask Heavenly Father if they are the right person for us.  She was quick to reply "I don't need to.  I'm going to marry Guire."

***Tonight as she was closing her prayers she said "help me to pray to know who to marry."  She is so sweet and so obsessed with getting married and weddings and all they entail!

 

The last six months we have been a single car family.  We have a compact little Ford Focus.  My knees touch the dash and Madi's touch the back of my seat.  Whenever we have to be in the car for more then a few minutes, Madi starts saying "This car is making me fwustewated (frustrated)!" 

When Derrick came home with our second car the other day she yelled "It's here, it's really here!"

 

Madi's cousins moved to Syracuse in May.  Madi has loved having them around and especially loves Ava.  Every time we see them she gets so sad when we have to leave.  As we walk out the door she says " I just miss my cousins."  Ava has started back to school and I think Madi has gone through Ava withdrawls.  Tonight on our way home from their house she said "Ava is my bestest."  I love that she has cousins around and that she loves them so much.  My cousins were my very best friends through high school and even though we are all crazy busy, I look forward to seeing them and talking with them.  I love ya Amy & Aut!

 

Madi LOVES to play dress up.  She loves wearing princess dresses, tutus, anything that twirls and anything girlie.  She asked for nightgowns and play gowns for Christmas and of course wants more "t-yayas" (tiaras).  Madi loves Barbie movies and all the Disney Princess movies.  She likes giving talks in Primary. She makes friends with everyone and usually calls them "my friend".  She is a pretty good helper most of the time, especially if money is involved.  We started giving her a penny for each chore to teacher about tithing, savings and spending and she LOVES earning money.  Madi talks really well ad amazes me with some of the things she comes up with.  One thing she needs to work on are her F's.  She says them as a P.  It's kind of punny (hahaha). 

 

Madi is starting dance on Wednesday.  We have been talking about it all summer.  When I first told her that she was going to start dance she asked what her teachers name was.  I told her it's Miss Julie.  She threw herself at me in tears and said "I just wanted a Madame".  She will show me "new" dances and when I ask where she learned them she smiles and says "My Madame taught me."

 

Madi has an obsession with public bathrooms.  At home she will go hours and hours (Derrick timed her once and it was 17 hours and then he told her she had to try) but in public she will go 3 or 4 times at one place.  She just likes to go when we are out.  It makes me a bit crazy since I HATE using public restrooms.

 

Easton has started waking us up in the morning.  One week he woke up Madi a few days in a row.  She came to Derrick and I and said "Can you just lock his door?"

Madi went to her first primary activity in July.  She was super excited!  It was a water party at the park.  She had so much fun!

Madi is my cold girl.  She tells me all the time that she is cold.  Here she is, jumping on the trampoline, in 100 degree weather with lined pants, a t-shirt and a hoodie.  It makes me hot just to look at her!

 

Madi loves wearing her tiara.  Since it is a nicer one we only let her wear it for special occasions.  One Sunday after church (8.11.2013) she asked if I could take pictures of her wearing it.  Doesn't she look like the most beautiful princess you have ever seen!?! 

Later that day she came out wearing some of the makeup she got for her birthday.  This girl is growing up to fast! 

Madi is my precious little princess!  I love that she is so confident and outgoing.  I love that she is cuddly and loves to snuggle.  I love that she gives me big hugs and thank you's when I wash her favorite jammies, get her something new or play Barbie's for an hour or two.  She brings so much joy to my life.  I love her forever!
