madelyn is in love...

...with a reindeer named rudolph.

and of course she had to fall for someone matt wants to drop kick. here she is after church showing rudolph's lovely (and at the volume of a jet engine) 'singing' voice. she leaves the frame for a minute to get behind me and make noises to get rudolph to smile for the camera.


today when she went to school with daddy she said, "i love you, rudolph," on her way out the door.

and this rudolph isn't really that snugly. it has a hard plastic base and weighs a ton, but that hasn't stopped madelyn from taking it to bed with her. she treats it like a person and congratulates him on a "great job" singing or smiling or whatever she is pretending that he is doing.

we just hope that this isn't a future indication of her selections for affection... love.

HA! so funny. I love when she says he's heavy and makes 'heavy' noises as she put him down, and the noises for smiles, and the 'Good job smiling by yourself!' She cracks me up :) What is it about rudolph? our rudolph snow globe is just as loud.
