First Skinned Knee

I'm afraid I've created a boo-boo monster.  Any little bump, scrap, or bruise requires a band-aid... of which she's an expert at unwrapping, and putting on herself.  Of course, I love my role in this little drama as the one who wipes the tears, and kisses the band-aid to make it all better.  (Of course I'm referring to the non-serious injuries... the more traumatic times usually have me fighting tears too).  It's one of the things I always imagined doing in my dreams of being a Mom... I love it.  Someday I may regret feeding into the drama, but for now I love giving her the extra TLC.

After her first skinned knee of which there was NO blood, she needed the band-aid, and then to 'wrest' it in my chair... we even propped it up on a pillow...Gotta love that she's in the tu-tu too!

Twirling earlier...

Any other mom of a 2-3 year old girl recognize this attitude??

... just some Chatham love... this dog's personality matches her look... she's just the sweetest thing...

We also have a super-hero in our house... if you've seen "Clifford The Big Red Dog" you know the character of T-Bone.  Every once in awhile he runs around with a cape saying "Super T-Bone TO THE RESCUE!!"... Madalynn has taken on this persona as well... she has me tie a blanket around her neck, and she runs around saying "Super T-Bone TO THE RESCUE!!"...

Of course every super-hero has to fly...(weird window reflection in these shots... but you get the idea)  I think there are ER trip in my future.

 

 

This is why I love summer.... I was making dinner the other night, after being outside most of the day, and I found this when things got very quiet... snuggled up in her bean bag chair  with a blanket,her plug, and Pooh.

Just some more fun times outside... i LOVE this bathing suit my Mom got her...

 

I can't believe she's going to be turning 3 in a little less than 2 months.  The theme she wants for her party changes every few minutes... she goes from Curious George to Cinawrelly (Cindarella), Awrora (Aurora aka Sleeping Beauty), Pooh, or Kitty.  She's told me she wants pizza, juiceboxes, balloons, cake & ice cream... makes it easy for Mommy!!
