Crazy Kid
James has had way too much influence on Madeline. The other day Maddie wanted me to tie one of her blankets on like a cape. She was pretending to be Darth Vader. Yes, Darth Vader. She came up with that all on her own. She has never seen the movie. Then she took a princess wand and was pretending that it was Darth Vader’s and that it did bad things to people because Darth Vader isn’t nice. As funny as it was, I did have to explain to her that we don’t want to do bad things to other people.
My dad had bought Maddie a princess fishing pole for her birthday in June. It is all pink (her favorite color) and girly. We were all together tonight and talking about taking her fishing for the first time. Maddie randomly says that she wants a Darth Vader fishing pole even though she has been so excited about her princess pole up until tonight. And today her favorite color is black… like Darth Vader. She is so wacky.
And speaking of wacky, when she woke up from her nap today she did not want to go to the bathroom. She started a huge crying (whining) fit about how she didn’t want to go. When we asked her why, her reason was because she didn’t like the floor in the bathroom. I was trying so hard not to laugh because she was clearly upset. The floor? The floor hasn’t changed in her three years of existence! She cracks me up!
