More wild times

Madeline was in a wild mood again this evening!


She ran around doing this, that, and the other thing; she had seconds at dinner; and she was busy making the water flow and stop during her bath.  After the bath, though, she calmed down a bit, checked out this lobster trivet ...


... read a few books, and went to bed.

Headbands

This afternoon Madeline was weirdly cranky.  She really wanted to water the garden ("Help! Water!") but threw unpredictable mini-tantrums as she did so.


Maybe she was hungry?  I showed her boiling pasta ("Hot!").


Sure enough, after dinner she was much happier.

We received a package of headbands today (useful now that Madeline's hair's so long), and they provided most of our pre-bed entertainment.


The headbands also hold my too-large glasses onto Madeline's head.


At bedtime we read Rain Song and "Baby"; by the halfway point of the second book Madeline was conking out in my arms.
