Madison has been picking up some expressions lately from school - these are pretty funny coming from her:
1. "How about..." This usually precedes her asking us to do something. "How about," she says, pretending to think about something she already knows what she'll say, "we play Lego Pirates of the Caribbean?"
2. "Oh my gosh!" This one is absolutely hilarious! She'll say it at just the right moment usually - it isn't one of those things she blurts out all the time. It's usually associated with something that is truly worth of a "oh my gosh." But she didn't learn it from us! That's not exactly one of those phrases we say that often, so she must have picked it up at school or church. Needless to say, it's hilarious!
3. "Whatever." This one is not said with sarcasm at all - it's said as sort of a joke, and we fall for it every time. Tonight we were saying goodnight at bed, and she threw this one back at us - Daddy had to laugh!
4. "Well..." This is one of those story-telling words she throws in front of various sentences to make more dramatic.
5. "Right now." This is a phrase she adds to the end of random sentences when she's telling a story. It sort of adds a bit of emphasis to the sentence. As in, it's happening right now.
A few of those are interjections. We've been reading a book or two about interjections, which is a big word for a six-year-old. Madison sort of gets the concept, although with her it usually takes an extra time repeating for things to sink in. Those last two are certainly a few of the interjections she's been using around us. She also likes to add
Tonight our friend Lance came over to spend some time with us - we showed him the Kinect, which was a lot of fun for everyone - we bowled, had pizza and went to Disneyland! After that, we watched "Captain America," although Madison went to bed by that point. She had a great time leading Lance around Disneyland, taking him to Neverland and elsewhere.
Work today was fun, although Daddy got caught up in doing another obscure video. We're doing a lot of those lately, but they've been fun. We'll have that pirate video done tomorrow after working on it a little bit. That one chronicles our adventures at Krispy Kreme. That was fun!
Today marks the last day of summer. As such, it was actually a pretty nice day outside, although we weren't outside too much to enjoy it. Lots of work today, and as of late. Madison and Mommy had intentions of dropping by, but Mommy hasn't been feeling 100% lately due to catching an illness that's been spreading around the schools: same symptoms as always, a sore throat and fever. Daddy had the beginnings of it a few weeks ago, and got some medication quickly for it.
Madison has fortunately been spared. Hopefully she can stay healthy through all this season - the poor thing has been through enough this year.
