The end of Maddie...

Thought we'd share with you Maddie's latest avoidance tactic...

Just this weekend Madelynn has decided to try a new approach to dealing with her parents...as we often get in her way!...whenever Maddie is asked to stop or desist a particular action, she immediately drops to the floor and assumes a "dead" pose...complete with "twisted" limbs, a mouth half-open, and her tongue hanging half out...and of course, a final death groan "UUUGGHH!" It is ever so difficult to discipline your children when you are laughing! In addition, when Maddie is VERY MAD at Mommy...for any number of reasons...she has resorted to "shooting" Mom. She puts her hand out, and with repeated thrusts of her fists, yells "Bang...Bang...Bang"! SIGH! :-) Again, so very hard to keep a straight face when confronted by a three-year-old "shooter"! :-) Shooting and dying aside...Maddie is doing GREAT! So much fun to have a three-year old!

Our Emma is talking up a storm, and singing and dancing to anything that remotely resembles a melody of any sort! With her performance platform expanding from clown, to singer, dancer, and speaker...she is quickly becoming the life of EVERY gathering! :-) We love our Emma! :-)

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
