Backyardigans

We just got home from seeing the live performance of “The Backyardigans – The Tale of the Mighty Knight”. We kept it a surprise until we got there. We told you we had to go into the city for a surprise. On the way home we stopped at the Dairy Queen, then you said, “I liked The Backyardigans in the city, it was lovely.”

iPod

Does Madison have an iPod?  Well not exactly, but she is using papa’s iPod at night.  Lately she is having some difficulty letting me leave her room after rocking, and then falling asleep.  I read an article about playing soft bedtime music and found an iTunes playlist of 10 bedtime songs, which I then downloaded.  So we listen to the 10 songs on my iPod connected to speakers in her room.  Does she fall asleep any quicker, NO.  But she is now asking the names of the songs and then will say, “is Imagine next” or “is man on the moon next”, or tonight she said, “after man on the moon is good night my angel, then moon shadow then blackbird then man on the moon and then the speaker stops playing.”

Mother Cat

This morning while we were playing downstairs Barney was trying to swat the blinds open and you wanted him to get down off the ledge.  When he would not get down you picked up the phone and it went like this.  “Hello…. Mother Cat, Barney is not a good listener… ah… ok… good bye.”

Hair doo

You have become a little bit more concerned with how your hair looks.  But other times you could care less.  Today you pulled your wooden step stool over to the bathroom sink, asked for a bowl of water, and then spent the next 10 minutes, combing, brushing, dipping the comb in water and combing more.  Then you asked for about 10 barrettes in your hair.

Swimming Lessons

Last night you have a very good session of swimming lessons.  The prior 3 weeks were difficult with you not wanting to put your face in the water or go under.  You have the fear that you will go under and Sue won’t be there to save you and that you will die.

Later while rocking we both fell asleep.  I woke up an hour later and went straight to bed.
