She's a brave one, she is! See, as a child I was easily startled. I didn't like balloons popping, having someone jump out at me, etc... Maddy isn't like that at all. She loves to be chased. She likes to be startled and laughs! I would think she'd like a jack in the box, something I never did. She's not afraid of drains at all. I HATED the bathtub drain. She's definitely her own little kid and takes after Matthew much more so that way.
Although, that gets her into trouble, too. She's becoming more and more comfortable in surroundings that she recognizes and thinks nothing of wandering too far. When I call to her she barely glances over her shoulder. Needless to say, we are working on that one! There has been many a time out in the last few days due to her trying to wander to far and not stopping when I've asked her to--she's especially bad about it at the rec center where we take our classes. She's so comfortable there now she thinks nothing of trying to disappear around a corner. *Sigh* She's a brave one!
Today we ran a few errands--dropped stuff off at the thrift store for donations, ran to CVS, over to the park (since we were passing it) and then to the grocery store. This afternoon was spent snuggling until dinner.
Speaking of, she's been doing GREAT eating at the table with us! In fact, she's been eating what WE'VE been eating for the last three days straight! Now, she may not eat that much of it, but she tries it and tonight she had at least 10 bites of salmon! WHOO WHOO!!! I'm one happy mommy!
I'm finally back into the routine with my workouts. It took almost a full two weeks, but it's back on track. I've lost the weight I've gained in WI and I'm hoping tomorrow's weigh in will prove that.
Although, it will take me a while to get back into the habit of staying asleep at night again now that I'm working out again. I was up from 3-5:30 this morning. Fortunately, (THANK YOU MATT) Matt let me sleep in when Maddy got up at 6:30. I slept in until almost 8! Now, it didn't help that we went to bed at 11 last night, too. Oops. I just don't want to go to bed at night. I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess I am enjoying hanging out like an adult and just don't find myself tired enough to really force myself to go to bed.
I officially think that Dancing with the Stars jumped the shark last night. It had been getting that way for a while, but last night with the tears, the musicality, 'facial expression (Who?! Pracilla Presley??? Her face can't move!) and a perfect ten and forgiving an obvious stumble the show is just past it's prime. I haven't been too excited about this season as it is. Last season didn't thrill me either. So, last night was definitely an eye-roller for me. Thank goodness we watch a 2 hour show in an hour or so. Thank goodness for DVR. We purposely never start it on time just to give it some time to cue up. We don't listen to much of the talk, just watch the dancing and the scores. The rest is pointless anyway. We fast forward the results show even more so!
Ok, well, off to hang out with Matt and we're opening a bottle of shiraz as well! Whoo whooo!!
Tea of the day: Vanilla Honey White Chai, finished off the box!
