Mother's Day

Mom got her first day apart from Madelyn last Saturday as part of her first Mother's Day present, however it came with a bribe in the form of a massage at a spa.

Watching teeth come in lately is like watching a pot of water boil, it just takes forever when you stand there and watch it. We get to peak now and again inside her mouth to see what's going on, but more often than not she would rather keep what's going on in her mouth to herself.

We have a drawer in the kitchen now for her, full of Tupperware that she happily plays in from time to time. She also loves to ride around on her little push cart. A trip around the room in an empty cardboard box will put big grins on her face.

Our kitchen chairs are receiving large amount of abuse lately. Madelyn hoists herself up onthe side of the chair and pushes until she hits a wall or a table and laughs. What impressed me the other day was watching her rotate 90 degrees to another side of the chair to continue pushing once she hit the wall. She'll continue to swap sides until she ends up in corner, the concept of reverse has not sunk in yet so that's where the fun stops until Mom or Dad drags the chair back out for her to continue her journey.
