Maddie and the Ceiling Fan...


From the time that Madison was old enough to focus her eyes and see anything, she had a strange fascination with the ceiling fan in her living room. It hung from the middle of the ceiling and was surrounded by framed mirrored tiles. It is actually quite pretty and I could see where it would be interesting to look at while lying on the floor. It was Madison's reaction to the fan that was so funny...

Madison would look up at the fan, stiffien her whole body, and just shake. This was usually followed by a coo. It almost looked like she was having a fit of some sort! We found this reaction quite amusing and it went on for several months...

Madison's mom decorated the ceiling fan with ribbons and balloons to make it more colorful and appealing. That fan stayed decorated for months! Everyone in the family knew the story of how good Maddie liked the fan, so we thought it was sweet that it was decorated for her.

One night there was a car accident on the highway in front of Maddie's house. Several cars were involved and Brandy invited some of the injured people into her house. There was a little girl in the group of people. The little girl immediately noticed the ceiling fan and said to Brandy, "I like your ceiling fan!" We have since laughed and wondered what those adults must've thought of Brandy's interior decorating...I can only imagine their conversation!
