1. After lunch yesterday, Madeline was super moody and on the verge of tears over the tiniest of details so I declared it nap time. She, of course, started crying and I explained that her bad attitude made it clear that she needed to rest.
I asked her to go to the bathroom before she laid down and I could hear her in there, muttering and whispering emphatically. It's actually very funny when she expresses herself that way and I was sure she was talking about me. But when she came out, she said:
"Mommy, I have something to tell you. I'm sorry for my bad attitude and when I was going potty, I asked God to give me a good attitude and guess what?! He did! I have a good attitude now! I'm happy!"
I was super impressed. "That's great, baby. I'm so proud that you asked God to change your attitude."
And then she showed her heart with a huge grin on her face. "So I can stay up and not take a nap?"
"Um, no, child."
2. Earlier this week, she told me a story about how a kid in her class was upset and angry. She finished the story with, "He was, like, an angry bird."
3. Madeline loves to make up names, stories and games. This morning, she told Joe and I that she made up a new game. The name was "grab your booty and act like a monkey."
Yeah I have no idea either but I sure do love her.
