Cheerleader

Ever since Matt took Madison to the high school football game, she has LOVED cheerleading. We were driving in the car the other day and Madison started a cheer that she wanted us to repeat:
Give me an "E"... (we repeated)
Give me an "A"... (we repeated)
Give me a "R" ... (we repeated)
Give me a "N"... (we repeated)
Give me a "Q" ... (we repeated)
Give me an "O" ... (we repeated)
"Whatda you got?" Matt and I looked at each other and he said "I don't know, what is that Madison?" With irritation rising in her voice she said..."I don't know, you are the ones who know how to spell, not me!"

"Guess what I am?"

Friday, when I picked Madison up from school she looked at me and said "Mom, you know what I am?" When I responded, she held her shoulders back proudly and proclaimed, "I am a safety violation!" I asked her to repeat herself and tried not to laugh. She said it bold and proud, "A safety violation!" All of a sudden you could see it on her face, realizing that was not was she was trying to say. Without hesitation she corrected herself, "Patrol, patrol, Mom, I meant safety patrol!"
She constantly makes us laugh!!
