Mommy and Madeline Day

This past Saturday Madeline had a day out together. I felt she needed a little one on one time after she broke down in tears saying, "You and Claire get to stay home together and do fun stuff while I have to go to school. We never get to do things together, just you and me."

Our day started out with lunch at Applebee's, yum! We then went shopping at Bath and Body Works. After all of that we decided to go to the movies and see Charlotte's Web. The movie was great and Madeline really enjoyed it too. I looked over at one point during the movie and saw a tear in Madeline's eye. After the movie she asked me,"Mommy, did you think the movie was sad?" I said,"Yes, did you cry too?" And she immediately replied, "NO!" I began to wonder, when did she start thinking that crying because something truly makes you sad was wrong.

Later that night when Michael was tucking her in bed she started to ask questions about death. One of the questions she had was, "When I die will God give me new parents or will he remake you?" I am not sure what Michael's reply was, but he did say, " Maybe we shouldn't have let her see that movie."

Our next Mommy and Madeline day has already been planned. She has stated that she wants us to get our nails, hair and make-up done. She is growing up way too fast.
