Madelynn has become very jealous of Payton. When P came along, M was just to young to be jealous and show us... so we are thinking that she is just now at the age where she realizes... Hey, this kid gets alot of MY attention. I have been working with P alot the past few days with crawling and Madelynn has turned into a baby! She gets on the floor and fake cries and then she crawls to me like I'm trying to get P to do... its funny, but I know that deep down inside, she is trying with all her might to get me to praise her for crawling to me and not sister. As you will see in the video, Madelynn steps in and tries to take the pizza crust (yes... a pizza crust is what it took.) Just a part of her jealousy I think. She has even gone as far as to ignore, and be mean to Nat when he shows Payton attention. Even simply just Nat saying hi to P when he walks in the door from work. Its not like he was holding her and giving her tons and tons of attention and ignoring M. Its been a little frustrating, but we are just working with her as we go along and encounter different situations.
On another note, Madelynn LOVES horses. They have always stuck out to her in books, and TV shows and she has just really taken a liking to them. One day, when we were at the Dr. office, they let her pick out a little goodie from the toy chest and she picked up a little horse thing and thought it was the most amazing thing in the world. I love the way she says it so I had to get a little video of her sayin it so I can always remember it. This is her little horse she got from the Dr. office.
So I have really been wanting to get her around some real horses and see how she takes to them... them being huge in real life, and not on a page in a book. The other day, we were at my moms soccer game out at the indoor soccer arena and we saw some horses over in the distance... so I thought why not take her over there and just let her look at them up close.
and she was pretty much fearless! I honestly thought she might be a little freaked out by how big they were. She pet it and reached to touch it. It was really cool. Maybe she will have a future with horses?!?! That would be fun.
she just kept saying "horsh, horsh, horshy" over and over. She loved it... So now the next step is finding someone with a horse that is willing to let her ride it.
Nat has the father/daughter relationship with his girls like, if they ask for the moon... he's gonna get it for 'em... or if some guy comes to try and date one of them, it will be hell on earth for the poor fellow. Which I know alot of daddy's are that way with their little girl(s)... some just a little more severe than others. I told her, "Tell daddy to buy you a horse" Of course, he can't tell his princess no right. ;)
Maybe some day. (Yes, I know our girls are spoiled rotten)
Today marks 20 weeks for me. Half way through this pregnancy!!!!!!! And tomorrow is the big day... We are bound and determined to find out what were having this time!! We have had 5 wonderful surprises (3 surprise pregnancy and 2 surprise little girls on d-day) and I think 1 planed thing would be good for us. Be lookin out tomorrow for a post all about it.... and if we can't find out.. then I guess don't expect anything outta me.
