Today, I was trying to reattach the tunnel to ball pit. I was leaning over and Madeline was behind me. All of the sudden, I feel a tiny hand grabbing the back of my pants and underwear, and then tickling my lower back. I say, "is someone giving Mommy a tickle tickle." I just hear a little giggle until I turn around and hear a roaring laugh. How cute is that?
Here is another funny story. Madeline has a toy we affectionately call "old Elmo". We call him that because we have since replaced him with new Elmo since she seemed to love "old Elmo" to the point of chewing him to shreds. We leave him at my mom's so that she can see him less frequently. She hadn't seen him since Seattle, and since she isn't throwing up the way she used to, we don't let her watch TV anymore. She was in full on Elmo withdrawl. When she saw him, she grabbed him, squealed, and rolled around the floor squeezing him and laughing for 45 minutes! "Reunited and it feels so good!"
