Out of the Mouths of Babes

Maddie always says cute things. Today she had a lot so I started writing them down to share with you :)

This morning Maddie wanted to play with a purse. When I handed one to her, she looked at me and asked, "Where we can meet?  I will meet you at the top of the coconut tree."  (Reference to her Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book)  She said it in such a serious way, like we were actually going to meet there.

The last time we went to Target (a few weeks ago) Maddie coughed so hard that she choked and threw up in the store.  Nice, huh?  Well, today we went to Target again and as we were walking in the doors, Maddie told me, "I not gonna throw up this time".

While playing this afternoon:
Maddie:  "I tooted"
Me:  "Well, what do you say when you toot?"
Maddie:  (after a brief pause) "I tooted"
Me:  "No, how about 'excuse me'"
Maddie:  (big smile) "Excuse me"

During dinner, she pointed to her rice and said, "Mommy, this has lots of caffeine".  She raised her eyebrows and tilted her head down a little and said it so matter-of-fact like.  It was so funny!

Then after dinner Murphy licked a piece of chicken off the chair that Maddie had dropped.  Maddie said, "Mommy, it's ok.  Murphy can lick my protein."  Yes, I tell my daughter the nutritional benefits of food.  Chicken has lots of protein to build big, strong muscles...just like Daddy's.  :)

Sadie was sitting in her bouncy seat this evening, Maddie knelt down beside her to talk to her then ran into the kitchen to me and said, "Mommy!  Baby Sadie just opened her eyes and said hi Mister Maddie!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


And finally...I was getting Sadie ready for bed in her room and Maddie was pretending to put Snuggly to bed.  She put it down on the floor and said goodnight.  Then she walked to the door of Sadie's room and held up one finger while looking very stern in the face.  She said, "Snuggly, you have to stay in you bed.  You come out of you bed and I will SPANK YOU BUTT."  It surprised me to hear her say that because I threaten to close her door all the way if she gets out of bed, not spank her :)  Of course after the baby oil incident the other day she always sleeps with her door shut now AND I put a child proof door knob thing on too...just to be sure she doesn't come out!

Well, that's it for quotes by Maddie for tonight.  Goodnight :)
