Good News

Good news.... Madi is not an elephant. Yesterday grandpa and Madi were discussing a coaster box with an elephant on the front. Grandpa: The elephant has a big nose. Madi: I have a nose. Grandpa: It has big teeth (tusks). Madi: I have big teeth. Grandpa: The elephant has big ears. Madi: I have big ears. Grandpa: Madi, you must be an elephant. Madi: No grandpa, I have a little nose. Gabe is going to be one next week and to our surprise he's going to have teeth. I thought he would never have teeth, but this weekend one came through and two are coming in on top. Having no teeth has not inhibited him in anyway from eating. He eats anything as long as it isn't baby food. Evenings have been fun at our house. It is so fun to watch Gabe and Madi role around wrestling and laughing. Gabe loves his sister and Madi loves her brother. Madi is the sister a baby would dream of having. She is so good with her brother...she lets him pull her hair. I'm talking about chunks of it...and she doesn't hit, scream or run away. She's AWESOME. Since the day he was born Madi has helped take care of Gabe. She talks to him when he's crying in the car; holds his hand when he's upset at home; gets the wipes and diapers; and freely gives her brother loves and kisses.

Last night we carved pumpkins. Madi chose the pattern but didn't help much. She wasn't that excited about cleaning out the guts of the pumpkin, but she did like the slug that came inside with them. Tonight is the first state football game in the Dome and it's going to be a fun late night.
