Okay, so this week Madison had two things she said that were just so funny, I had to share.
First, it should be understood that, as cheerful a child as she is, she does not like to get up in the morning. She is capable of being quite the grouch in the mornings, and it's hilarious to see her alongside Kellen in the a.m. because he bounces out the minute the sun is up while she pulls the covers over her head. So I was waking her up one morning and the conversation went a bit like this:
Me: It's time to get up :)
Madison: I want to stay in bed all day.
Me: You can't do that, you have to get up and go to school.
Madison: Go away.
Me (laughing): But I love you!!
Madison: If you love me, you have to go away.
She was so serious about it and I just busted up laughing at her.
And then, on Wednesday evening, Kellen came out of his room after getting his scout uniform on and Madison wanted him to play with her. He wasn't interested. She tried to play hide-n-seek by going into the hall closet. He took that opportunity to sit himself down in front of the door so she couldn't get out. I was loading the dishwasher and looked over at him, telling him he needed to get up and move; he wasn't allowed to lock his sister in the closet. He scooted away and Madison stuck her head out from around the door and promptly informed him, "You're old enough to know better." I wanted to laugh again, but kept myself in line enough to remind her that she didn't need to tell him that.
They are just so funny... What would I do without my kids :)
