*baking Madelyn's Elmo birthday cake and licking the batter
*hearing Madelyn sing Jesus Loves Me
*swimming with the girls and Jim at the big pool. Gracie is getting so brave and Madelyn paddles her little feet so fast!
*watching Madelyn open all her presents. She got a tricycle, swing, pink play phone, corn popper, books, puzzle, clothes, a little bank, and a play doh monkey.
*eating the Elmo cake and singing to Madelyn
*hearing Madelyn say "we're eating chickens" when we went to pick up some chicken nuggets for supper (one of the two foods she will eat)
*hearing Madelyn sing "clean up, clean up, everybody clean up" when I drain her bath water
*Madelyn: "Where's phone?"
Jim: "It's in Gracie's room."
Madelyn: "Get it! Run!"
*taking Gracie to tumbling for the first time this fall and seeing her do so well!
