Getting ready with Mommy

This past month we took Madison to the Boise Fair. She was not ready to ride any of the rides, but she loved the petting zoo. When she saw the animals she opened her mouth really wide!!! She also was able to see an Australian exhibit that had kangaroos and also a Dinosaur exhibit, but she got scared and we had to leave.
Madison has also finished her summer swimming lessons, which she did awesome at! She has started Little Gym again.

Madison and I have been battling it out. She has been testing her independence with hitting and throwing and so she has had a couple of time outs and yes, we do spank. Right now we are just trying to figure out what works for her. She also has become terrified of the dark and so she sleeps with her door open and a lamp on in the hallway. She spends about awhile crying for JR and I and then will play for about an hr., then finally, around 930 she falls asleep. It has not been an easy month, but she is still completely adorable and I love her more than anything!!!

With everybody going back to school, it occured to me that I really need to enjoy having Madison home everyday because in the next year or two she will be starting school and there will never be another period of time where she is all mine.
