I just want to post a couple of cute things Maddie Claire says before I forget about them. She calls: tape "tippy tapes", gloves are "gwubs", for really is "fow wiwwy", she calls lemonade "lellownade" because it is yellow, I'm not kidding is "I not kidnin", she can't say her t's for some words and trick or treat is "crick or creak", Thanksgiving is "canksgiving", she can't say her l's very well either, she calls Luke "Yuke", Haley is "Hayey" and look is "wook". I love all the words she doesn't get right. I don't correct her because she is my baby and all too soon I won't have little ones running around. I am sure she will learn to speak correctly in K-5. I love this little girl who can infuriate me then make me laugh and smile within a matter of seconds. She is completely a little me. She loves to play and read and ride her bike. She loves her babies and her Superman figurines. She loves to dress up in her tutu's and high heels and fight swords with her brothers. I love that whatever the kids are playing she reminds them she is the princess. I love the way she loves to pick flowers and will be content for hours to pick her flowers, "weeds", so she can make hot salad soup. I love the way she gets so excited when Daddy gets home and goes running to him and jumps in his arms like she hasn't seen him for days. I love the way she calls out for Daddy when it starts to rain and goes to her to bring her to our bed. I love the way she sleeps right next to Daddy all night because "He is my hewo" and saves her from the bugs and rain. I love the way she calls for Mommy when she is sick or gets hurt. I love the way she crawls in my lap so I can read to her. This little girl has captured my heart and brings me joy every day. I love having a princess! Okay, so this is a little more than a couple but once I got going I couldn't stop. I just want to record these things so I will remember them.
