While on hilly Georgetown Pike on the way to see the Sesins today, Madelyn announced to us, "When we go down really big hills, it makes my butt tickle!"

When we were getting ready to go to the grocery store this morning, Madelyn decided:

"We're going on a treasure hunt field trip! Aly, Daddy is your teacher, and Mommy is my teacher."

The treasure hunt didn't really last past leaving the house and getting in the car.

Before bed, Madelyn and I were talking about our trip to the zoo today.

Me: You get to play with Matthew and Abigail again tomorrow. Did you enjoy playing with someone twice your age?
Madelyn: Yeah! She was like six.
Me, holding up my hands: No. You are five. What do you get if you add another five?
Madelyn, counting my fingers: Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.
Me: And what is diez?
Madelyn: Oh, ten!

The girls were upstairs playing. Tony was trying to get them to come outside to see how well they fit in the wagon for a trip to the zoo tomorrow.

Tony: Madelyn! Alyson! Come down here so we can go outside.
Madelyn, coming to the top of the stairs with Alyson just in her shirt: Alyson wants to go training pants-less.
Tony: Alyson, get your training pants and shorts on!

Alyson ran away laughing and wouldn't let Madelyn help her get them on. She just kept running away from Madelyn, and Madelyn would yell for Alyson to come back over and over and over again.

The girls were getting ready to take a bath. Madelyn already had all of her clothes off when Alyson said she had to go potty. Being a good big sister, Madelyn helped her go potty. Next thing we knew, there was a naked Madelyn standing in our doorway with one hand on her hip, wagging her finger at us, and lecturing us:

"Aly peed outside of her potty a little. I cleaned it up, but BE CAREFUL! The floor might still be wet by her potty."

We've made use of Madelyn and when the girls are playing and Alyson needs to go potty, Madelyn is supposed to help her. Today while playing Alyson had to go potty.

Me to Madelyn: Make sure Aly's dress stays out of the potty.
Madelyn: Okay!

A few minutes later:

Madelyn: I need help! I can't get toilet paper to wipe Aly's butt and hold her dress up. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HANDS!

Both girls have colds. We were discussing this during dinner.

Tony: You both have colds because you are sisters and you share everything.
Me: Except for toys.
Madelyn: Yup.
