Animal Friends
Story 1: Maddie and I collected all of her stuffed animals the other day. She put them on her three little chairs but they wouldn't all fit so I showed her that they could sit on the couch together. She climbed up and sat in the middle of them and just stayed there for a long time.
Story 2: This morning she wanted to touch the Christmas village that my Grandma gave Matt and me. I got the fence down from the village and an extra tree, a figurine holding a pumpkin, and a little dog. She played with it for quite a while and kept wanting me to make the dog pretend to drink water. It's fun to watch her pretend play and make her little one-inch-high dog run and jump and sit with her other toys.
Last story for this post: A couple of weeks ago Matt asked Madeleine about dreams. He explained that you can think about whatever you want when you go to sleep and he was suggesting fun activities that make Madeleine happy. One morning when he went to get her up he asked if she had any dreams while she was sleeping. This was her reply: "Grandma. Hold. Toys. Play. Swings. Grandma. Hold. Toys. Grandma. Hold." And she kept repeating it. At first I thought she had really dreamed about it but it turns out that is her answer every time we ask about dreaming. So maybe they are just wishful dreams, who knows. Cute though, huh?
