Leap Day

Ready for some cupcakes? Today is Leap Day, and Mommy made some delicious-looking ones with Madison. These are the official Leap Day cupcakes (not made with real frogs). The theme for today was "one more day," where you have one more day in the year to do this, that or the other. So what did we choose to do? Pretty much the same thing we do every day. Although these cupcakes look new and exciting. Just for the sake of doing it, Madison and Daddy did do an obligatory leap into the air at one point. Quite satisfied with ourselves, we went back to whatever it was that we were doing at the time. For Madison, that was playing with her Leapster Explorer, which now that I think of it, was oddly appropriate for a day like today.

This is Madison's second Leap Day, her first being back in 2008. She was still in China then, and it was actually about four months shy of meeting us for the first time.

Daddy actually doesn't remember last Leap Day at all. Thanks to this blog, we'll remember this one though! The funny thing is that I do remember clearly the Leap Day in 2004: that was when I first started working part time at the job I have now. Hard to believe it has been eight years!

Today, Madison went to school, and came home with Mommy to meet Nana and Ba-Ba again. They had a lot of fun together this afternoon, obviously playing more games and just being together. But Madison got tired earlier today - it's everything catching up with her, really.

Either that, or it's all the leaping.
