I guess today is the day for symphonies! First we start out with a goodwill symphony and then Maddy decided she LOVED William Tell Overture today (the most popular part at least). I had a classical CD in the car and it came on and all Maddy could yell was, "Horsie song! Horsie song!" I think I played that part over four times on the way home from class. She clapped along and danced in her seat. As you know it goes soft to loud an awful lot so I just left it loud. She LOVED that. All I could think of was how much of a WASP I must look like driving down the road with my car BOOMING to William Tell Overture with my kid dancing along in the back seat. None of that rap crap for me--no, no, no. HA!
Anyway, once we were home and we ate some lunch, I found it again on Youtube (easier than finding it on a CD since I don't think I downloaded that CD on my iTunes). Maddy loved to watch the Orchestra play it. Then it reminded me of the mom song so I watched that one a couple of times, too.
During her nap, I haven't done much. Well, I painted my nails. I can't tell you the last time I did that. I still need to clean up the edges with a q-tip and polish remover, but I did three coats and a top coat. WOW! That's big time pampering for yours truly. It's the new polish Matt bought for me at Ulta last Friday. Now I just need to keep up on applying topcoat to make it last longer. I went out and got the mail today and realized we hadn't gone to get it for a while. I still need to sort through that.
Maddy has realized she can get out of bed on her own now. I was hoping this day wouldn't come. Normally when she wakes up she calls for me, "Mommy! I'm awake!" But this morning we went in at 5 and she seemed pretty awake but I got her to lay down again anyway. Well, at 8 when we all finally woke up (check it out! We slept in!) Maddy showed me that she had her purple fuzzy pillow in her bed and not her normal pillow. She had climbed out of bed (which is still her crib with the side off and a safety rail covering half of it) got the pillow, somehow dragged the pillow back into bed, threw her other pillow out of bed and then got herself into bed and fell asleep. I don't know at what point between 5-8 she did this, but she was quite proud of herself. She called me up during her nap to show me that she did it again. She's also taken to knocking on the wall to get our attention instead of calling. Cute, but it can scare the heck out of ya at 3 am!!
Well, I'm off to sort that mail. Have a good one, everyone!
