Madeline and I went to the Y today, after a three-week hiatus created by snow and our jet-settin' ways. I was kind of in a blue mood during my workout, but that changed when I went to collect Madeline from playing with her friends in the child-minding room. One of the caregivers came over to me and was gushing about how charming Madeline was. I guess that Madeline had wandered over to her, and then had this conversation:
Madeline: Hi! What's your name?
Caregiver: I'm Sherrie!
Madeline: Nice to meet you! I'm Madeline! (imagine hand offered for shaking)
And I was told that Madeline ended up repeating this exchange with the other caregivers and the older children. What a little shmoo she is ... charming when I'm not around, trying to to flood the kitchen when I am :)
Anyway. I heard an exciting announcement on the radio this morning, for anyone in St. John's who is reading along still. Aliant Winterlude Family Fun Day will be celebrated in Bowring Park on Sunday afternoon, from 1-4 pm. The weather might be okay for some outdoor fun ...
What a cutie! She's becoming such a big girl!

It is weird how they save their worst behavior for the parents. Maybe after being good around ohter people, they neexd to let it all hang out around mom. In our house, that means I hear a lot of whining that other people miss.

It's so cute when they start interacting in such mature ways. Madeline's politeness is adorable.
