That night her Grammy brought her a Princess cake and she opened her presents. She got a scooter, a Snow White dress up, a Princess nightgown, and another dress. Can you tell all she ever wants to wear are dresses?
Then as we were getting into bed for the night, Maddie had a very special surprise visitor..SNOW WHITE! She just walked into our living room and needless to say, Maddie and I were both Starstruck! Maddie quickly ran to her room to show Snow White her new dress up and put it on. They did twirls together and Snow White even tucked her in and read her a bedtime story. Maddie was soo funny and twitter painted, like she didn't know what to do, so she kinda has a funny face in these pics!
The next day she told EVERYONE that Snow White came to her house. We are just glad that Snow White could come visit Maddie on her special day. She told Tag and Maddie that she traveled here by Peter Pan's pixie dust and they were shocked! Snow White even told Taggart that she needed to tell him a secret and then when he went to let her whisper in his ear, she kissed his cheek! He kept telling me how he didn't really like the kiss and kept wipping his cheek, but I bet he secretly did! Overall, it was such a fun birthday and I hope Maddie enjoyed her day!
Cam's birthday is on the 11th which is two days after Maddie's, so we basically eat Birthday cake all week long! For Cam's birthday we went to breakfast at the Bear Paw with his parents. They gave him a Wii and I don't know who was more excited.. Cam or Tag?
Then we headed to Vegas to spend the night and I surprised Cam with tickets to LOVE. We ate great food, shopped a lot, and saw the amazing show! It was a fun quick getaway and I hope Cam enjoyed his birthday too!
We hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! We did and my kids ate lots of candy for it! My friend Teresa borrowed Maddie to take a couple pics the other day and here are a couple. They are so cute and you can check her out at Teresadunlopphotography.blogspot.com. Thanks for some sweet pics of Maddie!
Don't let this sweet smile fool you, this girl can turn quite sassy any second! Here are a few fun things about Madelyn at age 3:
She is such a GIRL! She loves princesses, her dance class, and being pretty. She has been really excited about how long and pretty her hair is getting. When it is wet and she can feel it on her back, so likes to toss it with her hands and says, "Mom, look at my pretty long hair.."
She is very independent when it comes to clothes. When we are just hanging out at home she is either wearing a dress up, nightgown, leotard, or bathing suit. She never has actual clothes on unless we are going out the door. She has to take a nap in either a nightgown or bathing suit and claims that anything else is 'scratchy.' This has been going on for several months and I am learning to deal with it, but it still drives me crazy! She is also very particular with clothes when she actually wears them. She prefers dresses (really long ones that she can twirl and curtsy in..) or skirts and will NOT wear jeans unless I really distract her while putting them on. I can't wait for the day when I put an outfit on her in the morning and take the same one off when she goes to bed at night! Maybe this will never happen though!
She loves her brother, Tag. Everyday when she takes a nap she says that she wants a kiss from Taggart. He comes into her room and she is hiding under her blanket and he says, "Where's my Maddie?" and jumps on her and gives her hugs and kisses. It melts my heart every time and I think it is soo sweet!
She is a pretty good talker, but a couple of the things she says, I don't really know where she got them. She says, Huddy for Woody from Toy Story. She calls Wizard of Oz "Liz a poz" (which, by the way, she watches every single day!) Lately she has been saying Poo Poo when she is mad and then she gets put in Time out for saying a bad word, but I think this must be the only bad word she knows, so she says it when she is mad at someone and sometimes it is accompanied with her tongue sticking out!
Sometimes she can transform into her own world. While she is playing with her dolls or tea set she just has conversations with herself and her dolls and it is hilarious to listen to. Also every night when she goes to bed she is a little chatterbox and just talks randomly to herself before she goes to sleep. We laugh pretty hard at the things she says!
She is sweet and cuddly at times and then other times she doesn't want anything to do with you. Whenever I get her a pancake for breakfast (which she has one every morning!) she says 'Go away Mom.' She says this a lot to me and I guess it just shows how independent she is!
We are so happy to have her even with her sassy attitude. She really brightens our home with her spunky personality and we love her so much! Happy 3rd Birthday Maddie!!
