Best Dad Award!

In just a few words, this is what happens when it's time to wind down and go to bed. Run around, tackle, tickle torture, run around, scream, laugh, jump on daddy, Daddy throwing Madison up in the air, Madison being hung by feet upside down, more screaming, laughter, daddy pretends to sit on Madison, squealing in delight, screaming, chase daddy, run away, come back and tag daddy, run away, scream and laugh at the same time (kids know how to do this), FINALLY sit down, eat a snack, read a book, laughter, pointing to pictures, quiet time, prayers, brush teeth, get in PJ's, more laughter, songs, peace and quiet. Now I have my husband back. No wonder Madison prefers daddy to mommy when it's time to go to bed.

For any of you not familiar with the games Madison and Brian play, this first one is where Brian grabs Madison and she has to kiss his hand or arm for him to stop. Once she kisses his body part, it becomes limp. She then takes a turn at being the one to attack daddy:-)


This one is where Madison acts like a bull and runs through the blanket!


This one is a favorites of Madisons and it seems she can never get enough of it. Madison will hide under a blanket and Brian pretends not to see her and sits down on top of her. She then uncovers herself laughing and screaming which in turn causes Brian to leap in the air whooping and hollaring. It's pretty hilarious to watch. Then Madison decided it was her turn and so she attempted to climb up and sit on Brian who was hiding under the blanket.


Here she is screaming and laughing in delight!

And finally the calm down book reading time. No wonder Madison goes straight to bed at night...she is just plum tuckered out. I just love to watch her and Brian play together. It's one of those great moments that make parenthood the BEST!!!! I have the best husband!





Today while sitting around the dinner table Madison started to do her pensive face which got Brian started! He would tell her to do her funny face, pensive face, do what daddy does (where he puts one arm out and bends the other...it's his signature move), do the Brad (roll up sleeves and flex arm muscles), do the surprised face. To every request Madison complies and gets us laughing. She was done by the time I got the camera out, but it's becoming a dinner ritual so I am sure I will get it next time. She is so fun and loves to make us laugh. She will do just about anything.
