I think we need to give Madelyn some more lessons in IT security. This morning she told her grandma, "I know my computer password, but I'm not going to tell you. But to remember it, I have to remember [password hint]. What's your password?"

Madelyn and I completed Week 2 Day 1 of Couch to 5k today (with Aly in the jogging stroller of course). When we got home, Madelyn insisted on ending her Runkeeper activity herself and said, "I want to do the smiley faces!" (Runkeeper uses a series of smiley faces for you to select how your run went.)

Madelyn threw up this evening, so she will not be going to school tomorrow.

Me: You need lots of rest and since you won't be going to school tomorrow, you get to sleep in.
Madelyn: Yes!

Madelyn and I ran her last workout of week 1 of Couch to 5k today in preparation for the 5k she wants to do. When we finished the first running segment and were walking, she asked, "How many more weeks is this?"

We visited with Julie today for dinner. During dinner:
Madelyn, to her auntie Julie: Guess what my theme of life is right now.
Julie, sounding slightly confused: I don't know.
Madelyn: History!

The girls were supposed to be cleaning the playroom, but it sounded like there was more playing going on than cleaning. Tony went back to check on their progress.

Tony: Are you cleaning or playing?
Alyson: Madelyn's not cleaning.
Madelyn: You do't always have to stick the blame on me.

I carried Madelyn into her room tonight. Sometimes I give her a piggy back ride, but tonight I carried her in front. She was excited and proclaimed, "I'm getting a piggy front ride!"
