Live Journal
In case I forget, which I will... I did, in fact, transfer ALL posts from LJ to Blogger. From Madd's page, Faye's page, my page, and our community page. That's all. Thanks.

Happy Valentine's Day!
What a special day! I have such a wonderful family!
My husband was gone by the time that Faye and I woke up. Maddox was upstairs. Faye and I went upstairs and both the kids collected the little boxes of Valentine's Day chocolates that Dad and I had left for them to find on the kitchen table. Maddox had to show me the special gifts that they got from Grandma and Bepaw Miller. Dad came in the door, he had already gotten up, showered, got ready for work, and went to the grocery store to get juice boxes from Maddox's class Valentine's Day party.
Dad told me that Maddox had brought us both a Valentine's Day surprise. Dad had Maddox bring the surprise back upstairs until Faye and I woke up. He said it was in the refrigerator. I opened the door and there was a chocolate covered strawberry (Faye & I made them yesterday evening) in a cute little strawberry shaped bowl. I completely teared up. He is the sweetest kid on the planet!
A short while later, I went to go look up something online for my sister and I noticed in my gmail an email from my mother-in-law with the subject title "Your Son", it said:
I know you already know this but your son has the sweetest soul!This morning he was so surprised by your valentine candy on the table for him that he had to come in and tell me about it. Then he said "I really want to surprise mom and dad". I asked him why and he said "For Valentines day". Then I asked him how he wanted to do that and he said "I don't know that's why I'm asking you for help". I suggested making a card on the computer or maybe bringing you each a chocolate covered strawberry. He jumped right on the idea of the strawberries. He was so excited to bring them down to you two. He just couldn't believe you would give him chocolates on Valentine's Day!As I was leaving he runs up the stairs out of breath and said "Whooh, I thought you left already and I wanted to say goodbye to you", and he gave me a great big hug.He is such a special little guy!
Yep! Definitely the best kid around!
Later on, I pulled out a Valentine Print Out from Starfall.com. Maddox had decided he wanted to make a Valentine for his cousin Kaden. He wanted to make one for Kaden, Dante, and Ariana. I told him that he could only make one Valentine and I told him that he could make one for one of his cousins, someone on his bus or at school (other than in his class, who are getting Bakugan valentines!), or someone at home. He says "Oh! I know who I'm
going to make one for! It starts with kah, kah, kah, but it's not Kaden!" He decided to make Kelsey a valentine, and here it is!
Unfortunately, Kelsey was not on the bus today. Maddox said she is sick, so he is saving the valentine. Hopefully she will be feeling better tomorrow!

Maddox says:
This morning on Jack's Big Music show there was a song about Ireland that says the hills are green and the river is green, etc.. and Maddox says "I don't want to go to Ireland" and I ask why and Maddox says "because the rivers are green."
After going to the bathroom, I tell Maddox to wash his hands and flush the toilet and than I leave the bathroom. Maddox tells Jenna that he has something to say to me and Jenna tells me so I go into the bathroom. I walk in and Maddox says "I know to go to the bathroom and flush the toilet and wash my hands! I know how! You don't have to tell me, Mom!"
We mixed up my birthday cake batter and I poured it into the pans. Maddox wanted to like the spatula and then he wanted more. I was scrapping the sides of the bowl with the spatula and Maddox says "This works like a charm!"

Pajama Day!
Today I got to go to school with Maddox and it was Pajama day! Clayton took the morning off and hung out with Faye.
It was a pretty good day, I got to meet all his friends and see what he does at school. Today was a special day, so we all wore PJ's, watched two short Clifford shows, and ate Popcorn for snack. Unfortunately, I will probably not being going back to his class because his behavior wasn't the greatest with me there. He had a hard time listening to his teacher. I tried to make it very clear to him that Maddox AND Mom needed to listen to the teachers at school and Mom does not make any of the rules at school, but that was still hard for him. He wanted to be in my lap, laying on me, etc and had a hard time sitting "Criss Cross Apple Sauce" like he is supposed to with the rest of the children. He did not want to dance at the end and was in tears because he wanted to go home and play with toys instead of being at school. One of his teachers commented on how strange it was because this was always Maddox's favorite time and he loved to "Rock Out" (lol). I knew it was because I was there and told her so. He also really wanted to tell his teacher Mrs. Gellner something but after he went up to tell her, he looked back at me with tears in his eyes and a shakey lip "What did I want to tell Mrs. Gellner, Mom?" Of course he hadn't told me, he wanted to tell her, so I didn't know. It was really sad and it hurt me to see him so sad and upset in front of his teachers, I think it really bothered him. He was also pretty sad when I had to help the other kids with their bags and jackets because we were running behind schedule (for some reason they didn't come out to get this kids until 5ish minutes after class normally starts). He wanted me to help him with all of his stuff but I had to help him last and again, when he talked to Mrs. Gellner he was pretty upset. I wish he could have had a normal day with me at school with him. I really looked forward to going to school with him and had fun, but it was also really sad.

Scratched Cornea
Last Wednesday Maddox hit himself in the eye with the "WiiMote". It hurt pretty bad immediately and looked like it hurt bad, but after awhile he was fine. Later he was cupping his eye on and off all day saying that it was bothering him. The next day he was doing the same thing and his eye was watering a lot when we went outside, but not the other eye. We brought him in to Ready Care after Clayton got off work and it turns out that he didn't hit his eye with the Wii remote, but he poked his eye with his finger nail (he told the doctor he poked himself in the eye) and he scratched his cornea. Because of his age, they didn't want to do anything for it because it would probably irritate it more, but we had to make a trip back into the doctor on Saturday morning to have it looked at. He still has a scratch that will eventually heal, but the rest of his eye is now fine and it hasn't been bothering him at all.
After we stopped in at the doctor on Saturday morning, Daddy and Faelyn dropped Maddox and I off at the Metrodome for Twins fest. It was OK. You definitely need a lot of money to really enjoy it. Autographs were between $5-50, most of the ones that were even worthy of getting were at least $10. Justin Morneau was $15 and I really would have paid that but we got there and got settled with some food before we even knew what the times, prices, etc of the autographs were and Morneau only had 10 minutes left signing and you could see the line of people in the suite on the other side of the ball park. We did walk past Gomez, Bonser, and Perkins who had autograph stands on the field where most of the commotion was. They were $10 for autographs. Bert Blyleven was signing in another suite when we were getting ready to go, but you couldn't see inside of it from where we had sat down to finish our chips. We got a couple things, including a poster of Cuddyer, Mauer, and Morneau and a Waste Management baseball bat that was signed (screen print signed) by Cuddyer. Maddox got a balloon sword but was pretty bummed out about it because he didn't get the one he asked the guy for and the guy said "he'll never notice"... Yeah, what 4 year old isn't going to notice that he got a scrawny little light blue sword and not the 3 times as fat and long dark blue one that shoots up in the air and floats back down to you... Flipping people!
First we got our food.
Then we braved the crowd.

Mostly Pictures
Not much to update here. Maddox has had some diarrhea for the past 4 days. He's pretty frustrated with it because he keeps pooping on the floor and in his undies. He is starting to get so that it doesn't emotionally harm him, but he's definitely to the point where enough is enough. Not to mention that he's on a diet of Banana's, Applesauce, dry Toast, and Apple Juice. I made some Rice for him, but I don't know if he'll eat it. I made a banana, applesauce, and apple juice smoothie for him yesterday and it took 5 hours for him to drink half of it and the other half he spilled on the kitchen floor. I really hope there is an end to this soon. Poor guy :(
When Kaden was here over Thanksgiving, my Mom, Amy, and I took the boys to "A Day in the Life of an Elf" (or something along those lines) on the 8th floor of Macy in downtown. Maddox was pretty freaked out by it. He did want to go through the part with the tree's and snowmen again, but Santa's workshop was especially scary to him. It was a little creepy! They were very old fashioned looking and all of the elves and animals, etc were motorized and moving.
Later that day, Maddox had fun shoveling snow outside of Grandma's patio.
Maddox got tickets to Monster Jam for his birthday. Maddox, Faye, Daddy, and I went and had a blast. I love Monster Jam and a lot of my favorite trucks were there! Maddox was as excited as I was (lol)
Everybody we passed thought Maddox's little sister was pretty cute in her Teddy Bear bunting, cool girl hat, and giant ear muffs...
Superman was not one of the trucks that was competing that night, but Chad Fortune was there in the crowd. Later he came down onto the track (or whatever you call it).
A fairly awful picture of Mommy and Faye....
Poor little Faye! Hopefully these ear muffs will fit better by the 2009 racing season!
Maddox was a fan after Escalade was done with his free style. It was pretty awesome. He broke his back axle, or rod, whatever and his wheels were pigeon toed and he still finished his run, did jumps, and did bonus time! Maddox was impressed after he saw that the driver had a Mohawk too.
My favorite truck, Captain's Curse
Bringing out the big guns!
He makes everything look so easy!
Yep... She passed out during Grave Diggers freestyle. It's still a mystery to me. (And the guy in the background looks like Great Uncle Russ.....)
Max D. He bounced back from that. He bounced back from a lot!
Maddox and Grandma Diane play Super Spies a lot. They let Faye play and so I took a picture. Here they are with their "spy hats" on. They even got one for Faye!
Grandma Diane had her CD Player on and Maddox laid down on her floor to enjoy the music and read the number on the display
December 18th was the Last day for Maddox's preschool before Winter Break. They had a Teddy Bear Picnic that we were invited to. Maddox brought his lion.
Snack time. Never can get him to look at me long enough to take a picture...
