Madeleine may not be quite on top of things in every situation; for instance, she still seems confused about what constitutes snack versus lunch, in this strange reversal of the recently posted snack melt-down:
ME: Madeleine, would you like some snack?
MADELEINE: Yeah! I want some snack!
ME: What do you want for snack?
MADELEINE: A peanut butter sandwich?
ME: That's not a snack, silly. That's a lunch! What would you like to eat for SNACK?
MADELEINE: (silent, thoughtful) A bitamin?
ME: No, a vitamin is not a snack. How about a graham cracker?
MADELEINE: Yeah. A bam cracker.
And she may not be a master of counting yet:
MADELEINE: (coloring) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. Mommy! I spelled ONE HUNDRED!
But she sure can learn new songs pretty quickly and bellow them out like a champ. Having just heard me sing "Jingle Bells" over the weekend, she has swiftly become a pro at the words to the refrain:
Yeah! She did it!
Boy, she has a memory like her Mommy! That is so adorable and that's a keeper. Yiayia love you Madeleine!
