Madison Avenue

Charlie Jo's buddy, Madison, hung out with us all day last Monday while her mom was busy. I decided that I would pretend to be my mom, who had twin girls and a son about as far apart in age as Charlie Jo and Peter. CJ and Madison were unusually well-behaved, so we had a lot of fun. Peter always tags along on CJ's playdates, so he wasn't fazed by the addition of an extra two-year-old.

I fed the girls lunch on the ground so I could put Petey in his high chair at the same time.



I put Connie in the garage so she wouldn't hassle the girls, but I failed to take into account Peter's newfound mobility after he finished his lunch and was set loose. He made a beeline for Maddie's lunch. She wasn't upset in the least, which I chalk up to her familiarity with being hassled by a brother at mealtime.



Mmmm... CHOCOLATE!



Charlotte and Maddie took turns talking on different phones. They cracked me up passing the phone back and forth. Unfortunately, MY phone was the toy of choice for a while.



Peter showed Maddie some tricks in the kitchen.



At one point, the girls disappeared into CJ's bedroom and put themselves to bed. They were both fake snoring in this picture.



The only thing I was nervous about was remembering to remind Maddie to go to the potty (she is relatively new to being potty trained). Somehow, it all worked out and Maddie ended the day without any accidents! It really renewed my interest in potty training Charlotte. Maddie is a good role model!
