First:

This is just typical of our girl, but not really anything she said. At her preschool open house, she was super excited and talking to all of the other kids. When the teacher came out to get everyone and go down the hall, she didn't even wait. She took off IN FRONT OF THE TEACHER and didn't look back to even see if we were coming. The teacher was talking to us later and was laughing about it and that we all expected her to behave that way.

Second:

We went to the park this afternoon. While there, Madelyn started to talk to a woman there with a little girl:
"Hi. My name is Madelyn. I'm three-and-a-half. That's my baby sister, Alyson. She wets the bed. I wet my training pants, too...."
And, on and on she went. We were all just laughing at her. I need to work with her on not talking to strangers so much. Oh, and her sister doesn't really wet the bed (as in her diapers generally do their job), and Madelyn actually keeps her training pants dry most nights. No idea where all of it came from.

Third:

Whenever Madelyn whined today:
Me: Do you need to go take a nap?
Madelyn: No! I'm a big girl!
Me: Okay, then stop whining or you're taking a nap.
The whining would immediately stop.
