Napping or Not????

Mad Molly decided today was not a napping day, instead it was a play in my room day! After Mad Mommy deemed her supposed "nap" was over I walked upstairs and found Mad Molly standing at the baby gate in her room pointing at her window saying "Uh-oh...it broke" "It broke".....At first glance (picture 1) it looks as if her window is fine but take a closer look at pic 2, oh yeah she did break it....that's what happens when you try to hang off of your window curtain instead of napping!

Mad Molly as a dog sitter???

So last night and today Mad Molly and I dog sat for her BFF Grace's black pug Albert. Molly is in LOVE with Albert. And in Molly land that means loving him a little too much. She was super excited to have him in her house. She took him on as her pet project (no pun intended). Poor Albert, I used to think Abby deserved the gold star for patience award until yesterday. She started out being very helpful showing him around the house "Come on Albert" "see here Albert" "where did Albert go", etc. Then she started yelling at Abby for touching Albert's toys "No Abby, Albert's" and would give him a pile of her toys instead. Then as a usual sign of trouble ahead, the commentary went silent, so Mad Molly went on the hunt to find what it was she was up to now. Found her hand feeding him one piece at a time out of Abby's dish (Abby, not so thrilled! Albert in Heaven) So I thought, let's make her productive and Molly and I fed Albert his food, and Abby was very greatful for that. As I was getting dinner ready I heard a little voice say "Oh Here you Go Albert" "all Better" (as much as any toddler speak can say) and I quickly leaned over the counter to find Albert trying to drink out of his water dish all the while having his ears held up by Molly. Apparently she was concerned that his little floppy ears might get wet or something and found a way to help him. Not that his tiny little ears would have ever touched the water, but In Molly land it was a problem. I can't say that even patient Abby would have stood for that! Sorry Al!

All in the family!!!

So Mad Molly isn't the only one in the family that gets stuck in strange places....here is her cousin Brady!!! Poor little guy, got in but can't get out...I think the best part is my sister did the same thing I did...get the camera first, then get the kid out..priorities!!!!

Catching up

I know it's been a week since I have last updated you all on life with Mad Molly, not for lack of substance to entertain you all but rather a lack of energy on my part or spare moment to enter them all in, so bare with me while I catch you up. Let's start on

Monday:

Last Monday I woke up at 3:45 a.m. to a beautiful 22 month old rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I can't even describe to you how loud it was coming across the monitor. I quickly glance at the clock to see what ungodly hour it was and then click on Molly TV because I would be damned if she was up for the day at 3:45....luckily from the best I can tell she was still laying down in bed, sound asleep singing all the while, for as soon as she hit the last word of the song, it was silent yet again..what a strange child

Wednesday evening:
Lately Mad Molly has taken to implementing any stall tactic she can think of to delay bed time. This week it has been chocolate Milk. Now when I tell you I give my child a glass of chocolate milk before bedtime you must be thinking...she is a mad mommy because any sane one would not sugar up her kid to settle down, but rest assured all, that Molly calls any type of milk Chocolate Milk, her evening cup has the tiniest little drop of chocolate in it, not even enough to change the color, but to her it is the most delectable concoction she could have. This evening she screamed at the top of her lungs for an hour + over "ohhhhh yummy chocolate Milk" "pleeeeeeaaaaasssseee Momma, I neeeeeeeeeeeed yummy chocolate milk" You would think I starved this child, I was outside putting something in my car as an older woman was out walking her dog and paused to listen to what my child was screaming from her upstairs bedroom. She polietly tried to hide her chuckle, but I said, "it's okay we like to liven up the neighborhood" apprently she had a similar situation with one of her sons at bedtime so she felt my pain which eased my embarrassment. Then I went inside and closed the windows.

Thursday:

One would think after being up since 5am this child would be exhausted..but not so much she decides to torture the poor dog.........sorry Abby















after torturing the dog, she decides to do a fun game of hide and seek.....what is this child's obsession with buckets and bins?????
