Mom's Brag Moments

HEHE.. Don’t we all think so and all our children are smart, but I just had to have bragging rights today. Madisyn had her Speech-Language Evaluation done today with the Speech Language Pathologist. Yes she does have problems with her P, B, and F Sounds. Which they are going to work with her on those sounds but her language skills.. she is right now on a 6 year old level. Can you believe that? She is so awesome.

They went on and on about how smart she was and couldn’t believe her language skills for just turning four. LIke if they would ask her a question on the test instead of answering in a sentence or one word she would answer in a descriptive paragraph almost. For example one question was, if icecream is cold what is fire? Well she of course said Hot but would not stop there. She would say yes fire is hot and then a fireman would come out take his hose point it to the house and put the fire out. While the fireman was putting the fire out there would probably be a kitty cat up in the tree watching him.

She was cracking me up with how she would answer the questions. They asked her why would a child cry? She said because their mommies would not lay in bed with them when they went nite nite. HEHE.. we still co-sleep of course and sometimes I will have her go to bed before me if I have a really demanding project due. I’ll kiss her and tuck her in, but it still makes her sad when I don’t lay down with her. Now these are on rare occassions that I do not lay down with her. Most all the time I lay down with both girls till they are asleep :). But by her answering that.. WOW this really effects her. I was a little sad by that :(….

Another question they asked her was name all the animals she could think of. Instead of saying like dog or cat.. she went into saying porcupine, zebra, giraffe, elephant and monkey. I was impressed by her knowing all them already.

Anyways, I just cannot quit smiling after all the MRI showing about the spots on her brain and then the preschool sending home a letter about failing her articulation speech. Here I was so worried and then how well she done today. Also Madisyn did not start talking till just past her 3rd birthday. Everything she said was chinese, but when she finally started talking it was like she couldn’t stop LOL. I’m one proud mom right now love.

Just had to share with you all since you have been so supportive through all of this.

Can you believe what the title is to this post? Yes if your mouth fell open believe me, mine did as well.

It was late last night and I was in here in my office right beside the girls bedroom working. My two year old was asleep but my 4 year old took a long nap that day so she was still up with me. She came in here in the office and said mommy I need to show you something. I was like uh oh my.. what has she done? hehe.

I walked in her room and she said mommy I cleaned my room all by myself. I was in awe and she did such a great job too. The floor was spotless.

Now why does this blow my mind so much? Well for one thing, I didn’t even tell her to clean her room. I am the one that ususally cleans it and she will help me. That’s my girl.

What age did you have your children start cleaning their rooms? We have been having a chore chart with her since she was three, but its just small tasks. I never thought of having her clean her whole room as a chore chart. I’m impressed.

Madisyn has been looking forward to this for two weeks now. She would ask everyday it if was time to go hehe ;).

Her eyes just lit up when she got to see Thomas. It was definitely a priceless moment.

We started out the day with the train ride. Lyndsee wasn’t too sure of the ride but Madisyn had a smile through the whole ride. She LOVED it.

After the train ride we made our way to the gift shop and got the girls some gifts and got to visit with Sir Topam Hat. That was neat. Madisyn didn’t want to go near him, just wave from a distance ;).

On to the wild and crazy rides. Madisyn has definitely got braver. She rode every singe ride there except the Ferris Wheel. Mommy didn’t think she should ride that ;). She had to ride the boats and airplanes twice. Everytime she would go past us while on the ride she was grinning ear to ear and just a waving. So precious and I loved seeing her having such a blast :).

We actually got her away from the rides for a little bit to go to the little zoo they have there. You get to feed the animals out of your hand. I definitely did NOT think Madisyn would have anything to do with the feeding. Boy was I wrong HA! She loved it and keep wanting more food to feed them. She got to feed the different deer and also the goats. At the end of the zoo, one of the goats got her whole icecream cone. She laughed so hard when that goat grabbed it.

To finish the day we made our last stop at the imagination station to grab a quick Thomas the Train tatoo and play with the different train tables. Lyndsee actually wanted out of the sling to play with Big Sister. Madisyn also had a good time building the blocks there. We stayed there for quite a bit and had to pry a train out of Lyndsee’s hand in order to leave the station.

For Madisyn being such a great girl the whole trip she got rewared with a big chocolate vanilla ice cream cone. YUMMY! As we were leaving the park she said mom and dad, I had such a fun day. I was so excited to see Thomas. Now comments like that are worth it all. Seeing them have such a wonderful time and us spending great family time is what life is all about :).
