Gravity!

There is this game we play occasionally. It's not really a game, but in the movie "Lilo and Stitch," the older sister Nani falls pretends gravity is too much - and she sort of falls over on Lilo, trapping her. As she goes down, she calls out, "Oh no! Gravity is beginning to increase on me!"

Lilo is not amused.

Yet Madison is when we do the same thing, and slowly land on top of her. She loves it, and begins to say the word herself: "Gravity!" In fact, there are times she'll fall on us, calling out "Gravity!" It's a funny little game, and I'm not entirely sure when we started it - but obviously we were doing that tonight before bed.

Mommy is making lots of preparations for our "Unbirthday Party" tomorrow, and getting everything set up for a very merry unbirthday indeed! I'll leave a lot of it as a surprise, but let's just say it's going to be a lot of fun. Of course, in the process, she's had to clean out some of the other areas of the refrigerator, including the big glass container that had the patriotic jello in it. She had a little help there:

We spent a lot of time fooling around today - and no, Madison didn't eat all that jello! She was really just picking all the fruit out of it. And making a mess! But it was fun, and Mommy and Daddy helped eat the rest of the jello, rather than see it go to waste.

"Oh, Come on. There's always room for Jello!"
