First Performance

Madeleine has always been interested in my guitar(s), but she has never taken the initiative to strum and sing at the same time... until now (or whenever I took this video; sometime between September 2009 and yesterday). Looks like we may have a young singer/songwriter on our hands.

Dizzy Badid

Yes, Madeleine has discovered the joys of altered consciousness. Let's hope she doesn't take this trend too far, particularly in her teenage years...

New Friends!

We got a care package for the Fourth of July from Grandma T. that included, among other things, Lightning McQueen (from Cars) and Clifford. What a fun surprise!! Thanks Grandma!

Index Finger Neck Death Jab

Oh I was so happy to see Madeleine after her performance in the parade. And this is how she reciprocates, with a potent finger-to-neck jab!

Pick Me Up, Please!

As I mentioned, most of the kids start to cry when they see their parents. Yes, even the best kids (with the best parents) are prone to show such weakness. Alas, Madeleine is no exception...

July Fourth Parade

Starring Madeleine! Not really, all the kids were great... until they see their parents and start to cry. But what a bunch of cuties!

Wipe It!

No, not talking about any anatomical region. Madi is very demanding when it comes to her whiteboard artwork.
