What am I going to do with this one?

Madi has been quite entertaining the last few days.  She is obsessed with her sweatshirts and jackets.  The babysitter last Wednesday told me all she wanted to do was wear her jacket around which was cute but I didn't see it turning into an obsession.  Here we are a week later and she is crazy.  She demands to have you put it on and zipped up.  If you don't comply she gets loud and is not happy. And just when you think all is well, she will spot a second jacket or sweatshirt and demand to have that one put on too.  So yesterday she was running around with both the blue and pink "Life is Good" sweatshirts on.  Then we made the mistake of going downstairs where she found the head of her lobster costume and demanded to where it also.  But it didn't end there, she also found a bib and wanted that on too.  So back upstairs we go and she proceeds to run around with all her gear on.  Happy as can be. Until it was nap time and the temper tantrum that followed me disrobing her was a big one.  IMG_5085   IMG_5080

 

Not only is she obsessed with wearing 15 layers she is also obsessed with books.  She reads all day long.  She reads while she walks and has walked into doors while looking at books instead of where she is going.  She will bring you a book and snuggle up in your lap and have you read it over and over and over again.  Once you finish the book she will take it then grab your hand and put it back in your hand meaning "read it again please".  Here are a few pics I took this morning.  The first thing she did when we got downstairs was find her books.  Oh, my little bookworm.  IMG_5094 IMG_5089

In all fairness, Emma enjoys reading too.  She just isn't quite as obsessed with it as Madi.  However, she has her little obsessions too, they just seem to be more physical.  Like jumping, she probably burns 3000 calories a day just jumping.  And she is obsessed with putting lids on things.  And she is good at it.  She just takes lids and cups and puts the lid on and takes it off over and over.  IMG_5097 IMG_5103
