Maddi missed us all week long. We sent her pictures and videos to help her cope with not seeing us. Teresa does a great job with telling her that we will be back to pick her up at the end of the week and shows Maddi the videos and pictures so she can see us. I hate that she misses us, but at the same time I know that means she is bonding to us really well. I absolutely LOVE when we get to pick her up because she is just SO excited! Since our last visit with Maddi was so short, we were soooooo excited that we had a 3 day weekend with Maddi!!! Daddy picked up Maddi from Grandma Teresa's house at 4pm today and they came to have dinner with Mommy on her lunch break! Daddy's friend Ed joined us for dinner at Chic-filet-a too! I think the best part of Maddi's dinner was that Ed bought Maddi a COOKIE!!!
Here is Maddi being SUPER happy with her cookie
After dinner I had to go back to work until 9pm, so Daddy got to have some bonding time with Maddi without me. *** Mommy was sad she wasn't there, but happy for Maddi and Daddy*** On the way home from work, I didn't know what to expect... was my house going to look like a tornado hit it??? Would Maddi be running around in circles with Daddy trying to catch her to get her to put on her P.J.'s??? Would Maddi have Daddy tied up in a chair and her eating a bucket of ice cream???
Well...none of the above were true!? I came home to find Mike in the recliner with the dogs on his lap watching a movie. "Uh.... where is Maddison?"
Maddi was bathed, in her P.J.s, teeth brushed, bed time story read, and in her bed sleeping!!!
WHOA... GOOD JOB DADDY!!!

We spent the morning and afternoon playing and bonding as just the 3 of us. We lounged in our P.J.s and just enjoyed the day being silly and learning so much about Maddi.
Late Afternoon we went for a visit to Grandpa Vrana and Grandma Judy's house. I LOVE how Maddi tried to say their names! She pronounces it as Papa Vee-anna and Gramma Jooody. She really enjoyed their house because they did puzzles with her and gave her a HUGE Christmas Teddy Bear that we named Teddy. Maddi shocked us all when she popped the puzzles altogether in no time at all!! We worked all the way up to a 5 year old level puzzle even. She only needed a little help because there was not a frame to the puzzle, and proved a bit too hard. We helped her a bit, but she was determined to put it together... and she did!!!
At night we invited Mommy and Daddy's friends and their kids over to play. They gave Maddi a really pretty Barbie and their daughter (also named Madison) gave her a homemade ring! Maddi was very impressed with the ring and likes to wear it when she pretends she is going "shopping" or "to the mall". After we played for awhile, we went and drove through Eagle Point Park for the Festival of Lights. It was AWESOME! Maddi thought all of the lights were so pretty and pointed at each one asking me to tell her what they were. We talked about all of the colors and lights! I did make a mistake of mentioning before we left the house that we were going to have chicken nuggets for dinner, and the whole way there and through the park she talked about chicken nuggets!? Even after stopping through the drive thru and getting nuggets, she sang a song she made up all about how she was going to eat her nuggets when she gets home. We were cracking up!!
