  • Madeleine was getting dressed this morning and picked out a watermelon shirt to wear.  She also picked out a shirt that said "Happy" on it, and said she was going to wear that one tomorrow because she was going to be sad tomorrow.  I asked her why she was going to be sad tomorrow, and she said, "Sometimes I'm sad on Wednesdays."  (I hadn't told her what day it would be tomorrow; she just knew, and was perhaps thinking of it because she had just put on her Tuesday day-of-the-week socks.)

    I think she really ought to say that she's sad every day, and not just sometimes on Wednesdays.

    (Lately if she doesn't get her way in something she says she's going to be sad for the whole day, and nothing can make her happy.  She's always been telling us tragedies, since she was born; now it's fun to see her tell us about them in words.)

    Gotta go.
