Maddy had her piano recital this past Sat. It is such a delight to watch her. She’s been practicing the piece for a little over a month, and about a week and a half ago, she had the song memorized by heart. I knew she would be ok since that day: that her performance can go auto-pilot even if she gets nervous on stage.
Our usually shy and introverted child went up the stage poised and calm, totally out of her usual characters. She beamed with confidence and moved on with ease even after she hit the few mistakes. I had butterflies in my stomach from the beginning of the recital to the end of her performance (which is a long time because she was the 4th last performer)

The little girl turned three on Tuesday. We had a little ice cream cake for her on her birthday, and a birthday party with mostly her preschool classmates on Sat.

During bedtime routine-
Maddy: mommy, what are you going to make tomorrow for breakfast?
me: hmm.. what would you like me to make?
Maddy: Well, maybe I can make breakfast since you’re not feeling well.
me: Oh that is so sweet of you. What are you going to make?
Maddy: How about pop tarts, strawberries, and milk, and you don’t have to make breakfast.

On the way to school, the radio lady announced “President Obama… the Iraqis..”
Livy: Why did she say Iraqis?
me: Iraq is a country, like China is a country and USA is a country.
Livy: huh?
me: Iraqis are people of Iraq
Livy: and they fly to the sky?
me: ????
me: oh.. no Livy. Not ROCKET. I-RAQIS
