Be careful what you ask....

We went to Moncton for March Break. Germy Palace. Mall. Pool at the hotel. It was a great time. One of Madden's defining moments came when he and I were walking through the mall one day, though.

He's into doing things "a-self". This includes walking in the mall without holding onto your hand, because if he's holding your hand, it's not by "a-self".

So, we were walking along the mall and he was about 2 steps behind me. All of a sudden I hear as loud as anything:

Ugh! Mommy!

"What's wrong, Madden?" (as I look back at he who is looking all serious)

He reaches behind him and starts scratching his arse,

My bum's itchy!!!!

The poor lady walking beside me nearly keeled over in laughter.
"Good luck when he starts school," she said.

Oh... we know, dear.

Terrible 2s just beginning?!?!

What happens when Mommy goes downstairs for 5minutes to put some laundry away?
Clean up in aisle 7 :(

I wanna be a cowboy...

But 30 seconds ago I was rocking out with a mic singing "The Best of Both Worlds" and 5 minutes before that I was the star player in the GHL (Gillis Household Hockey League).

Sigh.

It's a rough and busy life being almost 2 years old!

Dear McDonald's Customers,

I'd like to take this time to apologize for your unwanted visitor at your table as you were eating your lunch.

I tried to reach him, but his little butt could conveniently slide in between the seat behind you & the window, giving him just enough room to make his way into the *inside* of your seat. Yes, while there he proceeded to prop his chin up in his hands (supported by his elbows on the table) and ramble nonstop:

"Hello! Hockey! Go Habs Go! .... Hockey.... Goot.... Ho ho...."

And yes, Ho Ho does get cross just like Mama.

I know many of the people there found this little visitor to your table quite humorous and entertaining, which, evidently fueled his passion and fire.

I hope you were able to otherwise enjoy your lunch and also hope you didn't miss that fry he stole.

Merry Christmas,
The Mother of Madden Gillis who is clearly not quick enough

A message from Santa

Madden recieved a very important message from Santa today! You can see it here: http://magicsanta.ca/player.html?code=DSDWMW

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be

Note: Madden is supporting "Movember"

These boots are made for walking...

... And that's just what Mr. Madden is doing lately - trying on everyone's boots/shoes and strutting around the house lately. Here he is "rockin" Brenley's new cowboy boots ;)
