Not Me, Monday....Maddie does it again...

Thanks so much to those who participated in the Friday Giveaway. I have found a home for 'Treator' the Halloween beanie baby bear. The winner of Treator is ...A Country Mom! Congratulations! (She's such a loyal reader and commenter, and I appreciate her very much.)

It's Monday again! Woo Hoo! Time to be brutally honest. Today's post is dedicated to our
grandaughter, Maddie. She does so many things now that are worth writing about. The problem is--I forget them before it's Monday again!

Maddie was newly potty trained when her family took their trip to Disneyworld. If you've been to Disneyworld, you know that it's a bit of a chore to get to the bathroom. Needless to say, Maddie came home "untrained". This past week has not been rough...trying to get Maddie back in potty trained mode!

Madison did not refuse to cooperate on Monday when her mother gated her off from the carpeted area of the house until she used the potty. When Brandy finally let Maddie come onto the carpet, Maddie did not pee pee on the freshly shampooed carpet! Not Maddie!

When Maddie's mother told her to go and potty, Maddie did not let out a long sigh, roll her eyes a bit and say, "I'm so tired of this!" Maddie's mother asked "Tired of what?" Maddie did not then say "Going to the potty!"

Maddie did not eat a hole out of the middle of her piece of bread, put it on her face, then say "Ho, Ho, Ho!" Maddie's mother did not find that amusing...

Maddie did not find it amusing to run all around the yard clapping her hands at the cats and watching them run...She is not just a wee bit mean...She was not shooting them with a spray bottle of water earlier in the week...

On Saturday night while daughter, Brandy, and I were making a cake for Sunday's lunch, Maddie did not keep begging for cake. Maddie does not love cake! I did not keep letting Maddie taste the chocolate frosting over and over. My husband did not also give Maddie several pieces of candy corn, without my knowledge. Maddie did not proceed to stay up half of the night after she went home! We will not make that mistake again!!!

I did not decorate our living room for Halloween by hanging bats and spiders from the ceiling. Madison was not terrified of the spider and did not want to stay in the room. We did not have a difficult time convincing her that it was a toy...

That's not nearly all of what's been happening around here, but I will save some stuff for later. Hop on over to Mckmama's place at http://mycharmingkids.net/ and check out her carnival of Not Me Monday posters. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by...
