Oh and Madison update ‘cuz she’s cute
16Feb2006 Filed under: Parenting Author: DawnYesterday Noah was quizzing her and she used “both” correctly.
Noah: “Who do you like best? Mommy, Daddy or brother?”
Madison: Brudder!
(Noah grins and pats her on the head)
Noah: Who do you like best? Cootsie? [her red-haired doll] Or puppy? [her stuffed black puppy]
Madison: Mmmm, Cootsie!
Noah: Who do you like best? GramPam or Gramps?
Madison: GramPam? Gramps? Both!
Later
Daddy: Are you a baby or a kid? (usually she answers baby)
Madison: Baby? Tid? Oh both! Baby AND tid!
She also understands “still” as in “continuing to do something.” The boys were done for dinner and wanted to go for a walk.
Noah: Do you want to come too?
Madison: (indicating her unfinished dinner) I still eating dis.
She self-corrects, too. Like she’ll say, “Madisee make dis. MadiSON make dis. I make dis.”
I don’t actually want her to stop saying Madisee just yet. Or self-correct too much.

About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

My gosh, I’d be such a pushover if ever I was in the presence of such a ball of cuteness!
