More about the Diva

Sister is a character, maybe she'll be an actress someday.  After talking to our wonderful NP last week at Mellies 9 month check I realized that I needed to write some more about Maddi and her activities.  I've started a million different posts but get interrupted and never get back.

Currently, and for the last several months one of her favorite things to play is Momma.  She likes to put a baby doll in her belly and pretend like she is having a baby. While she still has the baby in her belly her and another baby will go to town and see dr ____ and he will check on her baby in her belly.  Pretty soon it will be time to "go get the baby out" so she will climb up on the side of the couch and pull her knees up and pretend she's having the baby.  She makes lamaze breathing noises and sometimes she squeals REALLY loudly. Then, she will pull the baby out of her shirt, wrap him or her in a blankie ( cuz they're still slimy) and show them off to me or whoever else is in the room.  Adorable. And her babies ALWAYS "drink a nummies" never a bottle.  Also, when I'm in the bathtub she wants to play midwife and have me "push push push"....I think it's genius and we have a future ob something on our hands, nurse, midwife, perhaps even doctor.  However, it totally FREAKS my poor husband out.

It's become such an interesting thing to have teenagers and toddlers in this house. I have had lots of toddlers, but we are just now experiencing this interesting interaction.  She learns alot from her big sisters, she is fascinated with hair, makeup, clothes, Taylor Hotner ( my older girls name for that boy that plays a wolf on some movie :) )

Trying to reason with me about her less then favorable behavior on the car trip

"The reason I'm being grouchy is 'cuz my carseat is pink and only has little purple flowers, I told you I wanted my big girl car seat to be ALL the way purple, then I wouldn't be growly...."

Many more to come.....................
