A tense Steeler Sunday at the Leonhardts.
All fans riveted.
Something was needed to break the tension - shoulder rides around the house did the trick.
Followed by a pretzel sharing - one end for Maddie, one for Belle.
After nap, a move to XMA (Extreme Martial Arts) World Headquarters for Maddie's first birthday party of a friend, who Jess did not know the parents of. Gaige is one of Maddie's music class buddies, and his nanny handed out invites during class. We arrived to a train in the parking lot.
This is also Maddie's first ride. After about 2 times around the parking lot, she made the sign for "more." She had been seeming slightly scared of the ride, but Jess told her there was more coming. Maddie immediately realized her mistake, and began signing "all done" over and over. The next ride we watched from the sidelines, and she asked for more, to watch, and meant it.
Gaige is in his train phase. Please note the animal crackers in the middle train car.
That's the birthday boy.
Maddie had a great time at the party, particularly on the trampoline, where she showed caution by remaining sitting there for about half an hour, while the other kids bounced, propelling her. Jess felt like she had experienced a rite of passage - something slightly awkward, but necessary and good.
They returned home to Mimi and Tio Greg making mushroom soup, applesauce and artistic sandwiches.
And Tio Greg impressed all again with his get-Max-to-sleep skillz.
