Q

     I have no idea why Madison knows the letter "Q" more than the letter "T" or even the letter "S."  Daddy was wearing a t-shirt with the letter "Q" on it, and Madison just called it out.  She actually said "you," as she pointed at the letter - but I knew what she meant.  
     It's amazing:  she's been really into letters lately, from the bathtub letters to the books we read her.  She'll point out the letter "A" in a flash - that's probably her easiest one.  But "Q?"

     Anyway, it was another quiet day.  We all had a nice supper together after visiting with Ye-Ye and Nana.  Nana had some surgery on her fingers today and seems to be doing well.  It was nice for Madison to visit.  

     Afterwards, Madison had one of those chocolate cupcakes from a couple days ago.  Talk about a mess!  Chocolate EVERYWHERE!  We were watching something on this computer as we ate our cupcakes at the table - Madison munched slowly on hers, picking off the icing.  Before we knew it, there was icing all over her nose and crumbs all over the table and floor and chair and...well, you get the idea.  It was most definitely time for a bath!
     
MADISON'S BOOK CLUB
     Afterwards, it was time for reading again.  We've been finding all these books that have been sitting on shelves, waiting for this very day.  Today's selections were picked out by Madison and Daddy off the shelf.  Madison found a book with all sorts of numbers and animals on it.  We pointed out the different creatures and were sure to say them all out loud.  

     Another fun book we read tonight was one Daddy picked out called "My Dinosaur."  It was simple in wording and very nicely illustrated with lush colors that captured Madison's imagination.  It was night time for the girl in the story, but just outside her window is a very close friend:  it's a friendly ginormous dinosaur!  The two go romping through the woods and having fun together - at least until it is time to get some sleep.  
     I'm sure this book is why Madison wanted to go riding on Daddy's back afterwards!
