I'm going to start posting all of my Daily Madelynisms in this blog in order to keep them. Here is everything from when I started on 07 August 2013 to yesterday (31 August 2013).
07 August 2013
"It's okay to drop your frog." (I can't give any context because there isn't any. She just randomly blurted it out.)08 August 2013
(While both girls were taking a bath) "I'll throw it to her. It's just a duck."09 August 2013
She was "reading" a card we got in the mail yesterday and pretending it was a birthday card for herself. In the middle of all of it I caught this sentence:"You are the best Madelyn ever."

After dinner, Alyson let out a huge fart. Tony said it was my turn because he had already changed two poopy diapers today. I said I had changed one. Madelyn chimes in excitedly with "It's my turn to change sister's diaper!"12 August 2013 (1 of 3)
On the way home, Madelyn and I were talking about what we were going to have for dinner. (Paraphrased other than what is in quotes.)Me: We're going to have BLT sandwiches for dinner.
Madelyn: Ew! I don't like BLTs.
Me: Do you even know what a BLT is?
Madelyn: No.
Me: Well, can you guess what the B might stand for?
Madelyn: "Bread!"

While eating dinner: "I'm eating bacon!"Followed in a deeper, almost sultry voice by: "It's sooooo gooood...."

Madelyn: Daddy, guess who's my boyfriend.Tony: Who?
M: Ernie!
T: Like Sesame Street Ernie?
M: Yup.
T: Why is he your boyfriend?
M: Because he loves me.
T: Does he love anyone else?
M: Yup, Bert.
13 August 2013
Daddy, lift me up so I can practice for the inksack flying contest tomorrow!(Inksack = insect, and we live in a constant world of make believe)
14 August 2013
(paraphrased because she changed it every time she said it):While taking her bath and playing with her ducks:
We love ducklings. Yes we do. Stinky cheese is everywhere. Ducklings!
15 August 2013
A glimpse into the frustrating joy of preschoolers:Madelyn declared herself done with dinner and said she had to go potty. Off she went to the bathroom. A little bit later, we hear "The toilet paper is all gone!" Tony and I look at each other because we knew there should have been more than enough for her left on the roll. One of us yells back, "What do you mean it's all gone?" She answers with something like "There isn't anymore." Tony goes in there and starts asking her how many pieces she used. She responded with "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six." (Turns out she did use about six pieces, which isn't a big deal, but was probably more than she needed. She got a reminder about not using too much toilet paper, which then led into a discussion of what "clogged" means and what could happen if she clogs the toilet. I hope she doesn't try to see firsthand. Oh, and Tony put on a new roll....)
16 August 2013
Background: Madelyn has started having imaginary friends. Her imaginary friends are actual friends that she pretends are with her. Every time they are her friends Caroline and Ellie. Tonight at dinner, they suddenly have a sister "Alysa". However, Alysa wasn't able to come play because:"Her boyfriend got a boo boo on his knee because he was flying a kite yesterday and he fell on the sidewalk."
By the way, his name is "A-Ellie". Oh the imagination....
(pronounced A-Lisa apparently)
17 August 2013
Isn't really a quote, but what Elena and Madelyn were doing. While at the zoo, they were riding around in the wagon. They only see each other every few months (the last time was actually December), but they play like they see each other everyday. While in the wagon, the girls were making up and singing the most random songs just like they planned it. Oh, she also said something hilarious at lunch but I don't remember exactly what.18 August 2013 (1 of 2)
Madelyn to Alyson: "The way you get around is to use your flippers on the ground."18 August 2013 (2 of 2)
Done with her pizza and acting like the crazy, sugar-hyped child that she is and fake laughing hysterically, I tell her that she seems like she's ready for bed (i.e. over-tired). Instantly, in a completely serious, deadpan face, "But, I want dessert."19 August 2013
Tony, while signing "no" to Madelyn: Madelyn, do you know what this means?Madelyn: No.
T: You don't know what it means?
M: Yes, I do.
T: But you just said "no". Do you know what it means?
M: No.
T: Are you sure?
M: Yes.
This continues a bit longer until Madelyn finally gets frustrated but still doesn't quite get it and retorts: It means no!
20 August 2013
Today's is an action, not something she said. When I got to Mom's to pick up the girls, they were playing in Madelyn's room there on the bed. Alyson started scooting toward me because she wanted me to pick her up. I was holding her and she was trying to get down, so I put her on the floor facing the bathroom across the hall. She started her froggy scoot across the hall toward the bathroom. I got up and turned her around when she got close to the bathroom door. After I picked her back up, Madelyn declared that she wanted to scoot to the bathroom, so she got down on the floor and tried to copy her sister's way of getting around, which was harder than she expected. She made it to the bathroom, turned around and came back, all while Alyson looked at her like she was crazy.21 August 2013
In our house, you can go in a circle around a wall to go through the living room, kitchen, and hall. Madelyn was running around the circle singing/yelling "I'm going to go potty!" (But not actually heading to the bathroom)22 August 2013
While trying to pick up her corn niblets first by spearing them and second by scooping them with her fork, but not having much success,Me to Madelyn: Why don't you try your spoon?
Madelyn: This is a spoon. It's a spoon fork.
23 August 2013
While in the car on the way to Silver Diner where Madelyn knew we were going:Madelyn: I see Silver Diner! I want to go to Silver Diner.
Tony: I don't think we can do that. We're going to Silver Diner.
Madelyn, sighing loudly and then continuing exasperatedly and completely seriously: You're always teasing me, Daddy!

In the car on the way back from the Farmer's Market Alyson was fussy.Madelyn: I understand what babies say.
Tony: Oh really? What did Alyson say?
Madelyn: She said, "Waaahhh! Waaaahhhh!"
24 August 2013 (2 of 2)
On a springing seesaw at a park, Madelyn was on one end and I was holding Alyson seated on the other end while bouncing Alyson's end up and down:Madelyn: Faster, Mommy!
Me: This is as fast as I can go while holding your sister on it. (Alyson is laughing and squealing the whole time.)
Madelyn: Well, kick her off!
(A lady sitting nearby bursts out laughing.)
25 August 2013
Madelyn was playing with her Phineas & Ferb figures when I notice she has Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz kiss.Me: Did Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Candace just kiss?
Madelyn: Yeah, they're at the wedding.
Me: Oh, are they getting married?
Madelyn: Yeah, and Phineas & Isabella.
Me: Oh, okay.
Madelyn: And Ferb is getting married, too.
Me: Who is Ferb marrying?
Madelyn: All of them!

Tony and Madelyn were playing. Tony picked her up to fly, and she said, "Nifty galifty!"27 August 2013
(video of Madelyn walking in front of the camera and sitting down while I was recording Alyson almost crawling)28 August 2013
During dinner while refusing to eat any chicken: "I like fried chicken, but I don't like cooked chicken."29 August 2013
After dinner she wanted a graham cracker, a marshmallow, and a chocolate bar, but not a s'more.30 August 2013
We can do lots of things tomorrow. We can play jammie ball and PJ ball and shirt ball and wobby ball and ____ ball and ____ ball and ..... (This goes on for a good 10 seconds of increasing gibberish.) Those are the things we can do tomorrow.And a full 3 or more minutes later:
Or we can play potato ball. I have lots of ideas!

While talking about where she wanted to go to dinner: "I want to go to Pandora and have mac and cheese."Me: "Do you mean Panera?"
Madelyn: "Yeah! Pandera!"
31 August 2013 (2 of 2)
We went to visit my grandma in the rehab center today. Madelyn said to her, "G.G., when you get home, I'm going to teach you how to walk!"(Grandma laughed and replied, "Oh, from the mouths of babes.")
