Maddy, Madeline

As Maddy's vocabulary grows, we are also working on "who's who" in this great big world.  This includes asking Maddy who her friends are at school, making sure she knows all our friends' names and also making sure she knows that she is known as Maddy, Madeline, Madeline Rose, Maddy Faust, Peanut etc.  At school the teachers are also working on calling the children by their full names as well as first and last names. 

Madeline has been referring to herself as "Madeline" instead of "Maddy" the past couple of days...but she's also started to call me "Mommy-lin" and Steve "Daddy-lin" and her teachers are "Krystal-lin" and "Brittney-lin"...and it goes on from there!  She thinks it's pretty darn funny - first jokes??  Or maybe she doesn't quite get the full name/nickname thing yet.  Either way, Madeline Rose has been making us laugh a lot the past few days!
