So when the new Pottery Barn Kids catalog showed up yesterday, I set it aside for a time when I would need to get some work done.
I pulled it out this morning so I could tackle the huge pile of this morning's breakfast casseroles and pancakes dishes and pans. Or maybe they were last night's dinner dishes. Let's not be so technical.
Anyways, I led her to the couch, pulled it out from behind my back and she started bouncing on the cushions and clapping in excitement.
Who says you have to buy kids' toys?
The first few minutes were so peaceful and productive. Until she sprinted into the kitchen, yelling, "Ba-lul, ba-lul!" and pointing to a picture in the catalog.
It looked like she was just pointing at the children in the image so I tried correcting her.
"Boys? You see some boys?"
"Ba-lul! Ba-lul!"
"Table? They're sitting at a table?"
"BA-LUL! BA-LUL!"
At this point, she was almost hysterical with glee and screaming the word every second. I knelt down to see the picture more clearly and finally saw it.
Do you see what she saw? Spot anything that would throw Madeline into a frenzy?
Yes, that's right. My daughter can look at an image with a 1000 items and locate the Boggle game box.
I'm so proud.
I'm also thinking maybe we need to play some new games around the house.

Oh Katie I love that Madeline loves words almost as much as you do! :) You've trained her well! :)
Katie, when are we going to play Big Boggle? For reals, it's time. Ebelskivers & Big Boggle before January is over. I demand it!!!
Sheesh. I can't even see it.
Katie, I'm not sure I've ever played Boggle...is this going to be a problem in our friendship?
I love the Cat in the Hat stuff at PBK. My little's room is already decorated in that, and just as I was considering redoing the room--they come out with these coordinating accessories and bedding!
Emjoy your eggnog!

Oh my, too cute!!!!! We call Charlie "Ninja Senses" because ever since she was born she always saw everything, heard everything and smelled everything. Pretty much nothing happened without her "approval".
Glad you stopped by my lil blog!
i updated. you happy? are we better friends, now?
This totally cracked me up! Ba lul. That's great!
Funny...I had no idea all these posts were here. My wonderful feed reader was either not reading or not feeding me the feed reads. Or whatever. I just happened upon them.
Seriously, if you're ever around my area, you should look me up. Ella and Madeline would really love each other I think. :)
