It's Just a Phase

I haven't posted in a while. I finally have been able to start Maddy's scrapbook, so I spend most of my spare time scrapping. I forgot how hard scrapbooking can be to me lol. It takes me sometimes an entire day just to finish one page because it takes me a while to come up with ideas for my pages. The last page I did is probably my favorite so far, and I hope my pages just keep getting better and better :) I've been meaning to post about a new phase Maddy is going through...phase may not be the word...more like I wanted to share how smart she is lol. For the past month or so Maddy has learned to say 'Ow!" when you are doing something to her that she wants you to stop, i.e. putting her shoe on, brushing her hair, getting dressed. I know it can be said that maybe it did hurt when I was brushing her hair but I knew it wasn't because I wasn't doing anything but holding her hair in my hand...I hadn't even started brushing when she said ow. I can tell a difference between when I did accidentally hurt her and when I didn't. I can't help but laugh because it's amazing how smart she really is, which really kinda scares me in her teenage years. Something else Maddy has picked up on is I call her "Nana" mom. She has done this before and I had started calling my mom "Nana" around Maddy but I guess I just decided there wasn't a need for that anymore and found out I was wrong. We were at Lowe's picking out a sink/vanity for my bathroom (we...ok...my mom is doing home renovation projects and I am so excited that she included my bathroom in this project.) and me and Maddy were a little ways down looking and I found the sink she was wanting to see so I holler "Mom!" and she didn't hear me so I say it again. We talked and looked a little bit then she was trying to get someone to help us and Maddy wanted my mom's attention and since she couldn't hear Maddy talking to her, Maddy decides to yell, "Mom!" I whirl around to find Maddy looking at my mom and yelling "mom" to her. I made a mental note to call my mom "nana" around maddy lol.
This time change is really getting to me and by the time I get off work at 10:00 p.m. I am just beyond exhausted that I go straight to bed. That means my blog updates will be lacking for a while because the weekends are pretty much devoted to my scrapbooking. Once I get caught up on my scrapbook I can make more time for blogging. I will post some pics on here when I can (I don't have my card with me and need to get to work). I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and are having a good start to your week :)
