Lately, I have felt like Madeleine's taxi driver, except I don't get any tips. The only tips she will leave me are, food crumbs all over the seats and her car seat and a few toddler fits. (OMG! My backseat is a mess!!!) Yesterday, we went to music class (which by the way, SHE LOVES!), and then we met our playgroup at
Big Air Trampoline Park. This place is a huge warehouse that has trampolines all over the floors and walls. They have two days a week were they do "toddler time," for three hours, which is nice because you don't have to worry about big kids. As I was driving there I was really hoping she wouldn't freak the f*** out. She absolutely hates the trampoline at gymnastics and cries every time I try to put her on it. So, I thought for sure this was going to be a disaster. NOPE! Homegirl was jumping, bouncing, and rolling all over the place. I wish I had taken some pictures but, I forgot we were living in the moment. I really wanted to jump off the wall, but I was pretty sure I would probably bust my ass! I just hope she remembers how fun trampolines can be when we go back to gymnastics class on Friday!
We got the catalog for the summer II session classes and we deiced that we are going to add an art and swim class to the mix. Which means, Madeleine needs to learn how to tip her taxi cab driver! This summer is giving me a small glimpse of what it will be like when she's older an in school with all kinds of school activities and sports. EEEEEEEEKKKKKK!
In other news, we have been working on our manners. She now says, "Please, mama!" when asking for something, and says "Tank you" when given something. We're working on the whole, "May I please have....." We're working on her hillbilly manners at the table, that's a work in progress! It's pretty crazy how much she's picking up. She started singing twinkle twinkle little star, last night. Her version, "tinkle, tinkle, lille sta... (hand movement in the air)." I thought it was so cute, until she stayed up until 9:30 singing it! She's repeating a lot of what we say and I'm trying soooooo hard to clean up my sailor's mouth! SOOOOOOO HARD!!!! That's a work in progress!
Here's a little video of the hillbilly trying out her new manners. I could just eat her up!
