Indulging Madeline

This has been a week of indulging Madeline's whims and ensuring that she gets her recommended daily allowance of attention. Not that it goes to her head.

First of all, Madeline had her first dance recital. She's been going to a dance class for a nember of weeks and today they did their performance for all the parents. Fortunately, there were no mirrors in which she could admire herself like she does at home. But she did great all the same!

Next, it was finally warm enough to brave a night out camping in the tent. Knowing better, we camped in the back yard, which was a good move given Maddie's numerous sorties to the potty. She squirmed like a squirrel all night and woke up at 5:30 am, but nevertheless, success was declared.
