The Girls
My older sister has two children, who just so happen to be my nieces (ha), who I think the world of.
These kids are the smartest children I have ever met. Bar none. I don’t mean that to offend anybody who has smart children, or plan to have smart children or who plan to have dumb children.
Perhaps I am biased?
Madison continues to amaze me every day. For Valentines Day, she begged her mother to call me because she wanted to say Happy Valentines Day. She asked over and over for a few minutes, until my sister gave in. After she wished me a happy day, she then went into telling me other stories about her parents, daycare, and Mia (her young sister). This girl is a gossip and a tattletale. After talking with Madison, I spoke with my sister and could hear Madison singing Old McDonald had a farm – apparently on that farm there was an Uncle Justin. Did not know that until then.
At daycare, the providers husband asked the provider if she had lost his keys again. Simple statement. Later that night, during dinner, Madison told her parents that Robin lost his (insert husbands name here – I forget what it is) keys.
6 months ago, Madison started knowing when she had to use the Potty. She would go into the bathroom and hit the toilet. A couple months ago she was asking to go onto the potty. So, a Dora the Explorer small toilet seat later, and she was doing her business. Minimal accidents (liquid) led to a few “undies” changes, but all in all a fast learner. When I was visiting, after days of no accidents, I think Madison thought she was a dog and I was a fire hydrant. I like to think she was having so much fun, that she did not want to have to stop to use the bathroom. I also think I am probably not the best person to leave her with during any sort of serious training phase.
Madison is 2 years old. I cannot wait until I can see her again.
I’ll post about Mia in the near future. She has some good stories too.
