HUSH!!!

So, let's first start with we had a much better day today. This morning was still crazy two year old but her birthday party at school was a hit. She was nice enough to her friends that they wanted to come to her party or maybe they just wanted those fantastic gift bags - either way they were there and it was a success. We came home today and it's beautiful outside so we went for a great walk and picked a handful of flowers from our neighbor's yards (mostly their weeds that Maddy believes are beautiful!).

Then tonight we get home and Matt and I are having a conversation. He's had a rough week at work and I was trying to get the debrief. Maddy started with "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." He ignored and continued to talk until she said, "Daddy, HUSH!" All I can say is Thank God I was facing the other direction because I was laughing hysterically and there is no way I could've pulled the discipline card! Matt quickly put her in her place and we preceeded with our nice evening. Thank goodness for a new day! I laugh because I overheard Matt telling her earlier that he didn't realize how good she was until she became a monster. The funny thing about that is "Monster" has been Matt's nickname for Maddy since she was itty bitty. Isn't there some saying about how we grow into our names? I'm now typing this and listening to her in bed with the "my blanket, my water, my baby susie!" Anything she can cry for she is mentioning. Good day or bad day - the bedtime routine has not changed. :) Here's to hoping for another "good" day tomorrow!
