Maddy and I went to story book class first thing this morning. She was up at six and I tell ya, I was NOT ready to get up that early. I slept poorly (AGAIN) that night and when six rolled around.... argh. So Matt rocked her for a while and laid her down. Didn't work. She was knocking on the wall a few minutes later. I took some time to get ready and actually blow dried my hair. I do like it like that. I even picked out some earrings to match my outfit and wore my new ankle boots. I do like feeling put together!
Matt was a super eater this morning! I was able to get a piece of bread with butter into her, a piece of turkey bacon and 12 oz. of orange juice! That felt really good! She and I left for class early and wandered around a bit in the rec center. She loved class today although I think the teacher is a bit loud for her. Maddy plugs her ears when she first enters class. She has background music going and she's constantly talking, not loud, but definitely upbeat, so I think it overwhelms her a little bit. But she was ready to DANCE today!!! She was dancing up a storm to every song. So cute. After class we had our snack in the rec center like we always do and then went over to Target.
I had this nice list.... couldn't buy three of the things, thought I wasn't going to be able to buy the other two! They didn't carry the juice boxes Maddy likes (Mott's tots apple juice) or the screw sports top child water bottles with calcium or the bran buds! SHEESH. Then I couldn't find the Bissel rug cleaner but finally figured out to go look by the vacuums and not by the cleaning supplies. There it was. Then we went over to the big girl underwear and all I could find was size 4. Well, they are by the toddler/infant area mixed up with the bibs, rubeez, etc. Maddy now has NINETEEN pair of underwear!! I'm sure we'll be going through them quickly at first. I think we may even start trying today after her nap. After all, we have the carpet cleaner now. :) I also bought her a special toy to play with while she's on the potty, too. We'll see if she's ready and how long this takes. She's very excited about the big girl underwear, though!
I was about to leave Target when I decided we'd stop to eat lunch at their food court. They carry Pizza Hut pizza so I ordered a cheese one for Maddy. The kids meal comes with an icee which she's never had before (for good reason--it's all sugar!). But, hey, today was a special day... why not? Well, she drops it on the ground. No big deal, just less for her to drink which I'm fine with. I clean up the mess as best I could and she has a few sips and then says, "eeehh!! oooow!! ouch!!!" and holds her head. Yes, my daughter had her first brain freeze today. :) She chowed down on the pizza (it was just out of the oven and she scarfed it down) and almost fell asleep on the way home. Now she's down for nap!
So now starts the potty training! Wish us luck!
Tea of the day: Bigelow Constant Comment, Bigelow Green tea with Lemon and Bigelow Green tea with Blueberry.

I have been informed by a party who shall remain nameless *coughhollycough* that I mentioned that Matt was a good eater this morning and not Maddy. :) Well, he was a good eater, too. I made him my southwestern egg wrap for breakfast before work (normally he takes a yogurt and granola with him and that's it). So look at that! They were BOTH good eaters this morning!
