madelyn had an early and tearful start to her day today. she got up around 6am and was crying when she came into our room (matt was already at work) to get me. what did she want? for me to put her tool belt on her. i guess that is why she was crying, because she couldn't get it on herself. then when i went to get a picture of her all cute in her left over pig tails, her new pink elmo jammies, and her tool belt she started crying again. she was saying "no, mommy! i don't want it. no pictures!" of course i took one picture anyway.
i am exhausted, so here are some pictures from today with captions to cover today's post. enjoy!
madelyn enjoyed "cooking" with real baking supplies that were just her size. later in the day she added her apron to the whole experience.
unfortunately, madelyn found the tools that we removed from the tool belt before giving it to her because, as matt put it, "she could put that hammer through a wall." i did let her play with them for a little while so that i could get these pictures of her being little ms. fix-it.
by 9:30am it was already getting really hot (a heat advisory went into effect at noon today) and madelyn was ready to hit the pool. she is carrying her new bug box in the picture.
she had fun for a little while in her pool, but it was getting way to hot for me sitting outside in the sun. she splashed around for a while and then we had to go in and get ready for music class.
at about 8:30pm we finally got around to giving madelyn her birthday cake. i think that she was most excited about the candles though. she insisted on helping me put the candles in the cake herself before sitting at the table for us to sing. we were so late past bedtime because she and i went to 'swim' some more in the backyard after her swimming class and didn't come in until after 7. and daddy went to a work function after swim class and didn't get home again until after 8, which is when madelyn and i were just finishing up our dinner.
happy (belated) birthday, madelyn! you finally got to eat your cake. love.

All the pictures are too cute. She is one determined little girl. Mommy looks great too!!!!!
Oh, that first picture proves it - she's DEFINITELY two-years-old now :) Glad the tool belt was a hit. Lorelai hasn't worn hers yet- maybe seeing Madelyn will inspire her. how did she manage to find the tools? Sounds like Maddie had a wonderful two-day birthday celebration. Non stop bdays are always fun :)
oops- I was helping my mom with her account and posted with her account
