We’ve doped her with myriad cartoon shorts along with occasional full-length animated features for months now. She invites us to do the “Mee-key Gonald?” round and round the nursery (see video below). She’s got her princess dresses ready and has been asking to wear her Minnie polka dots to school. Minnie herself has been lovingly smeared with yogurt, milk, cookie crumbs, and various other toddler foods. Yep. At long last, we are going to meet the Mouse and the rest of the Gang.

Stacking blocks, dancing, and escaping to the balcony
Image
Today was a big day of firsts for Madeline – at least, the first time that we’ve caught her at these particular forms of mischief.
First, she climbed over the threshold of the office onto the balcony. The baby-proofing challenge just bumped up a level.
Next, she started dancing to daddy’s electronica dance music (who knew Chris had this???). Before, she would bounce here and there, but today she sustained a full-out baby bop until she fell over, then got up and bopped some more.
Finally, Madeline showed us she can stack blocks. I made a two-block stack and asked her to try, and she took my two-block unit and put it on top of a third block. (Baby’s way of showing up Mommy.) Then with a “Yeeaahhh!!” she knocked them down. Then she stacked three blocks by herself.
- first this one, then that one
- now gently...
- ...let it go! ta da!

MUST try this. The baby belly is not quite gone and needs to move on. Intervals of 30 seconds each, with 10 seconds rest in between. Go!!
