Shopping

Mikelle, John, and I took Madison shopping for some new clothes yesterday. I thought she may not like shopping because of all the walking around, but she went through all the racks of clothes and said yes to this and no to that. Mikelle found out how frustrating it can be to shop with an opinionated person and said that Madison was worse than herself. Apparently Madison likes gem studded and sparkly clothes. She tried in vain to get a shirt that I already purchased for her before I went to China, I guess she likes it. I had to go put it back on the rack when she wasn't looking.

We received some special gifts in the mail yesterday before going on our shopping trip. We would like to thank the generosity of Teresa Euken's wrestling cheerleaders from Red Oak for selflessly giving Madison their Aeropostale and Old Navy gift cards. Once we got to Mall of the Bluffs, we made a bee line to those stores. Thank you again girls!

Meals are going to be a challenge. I made baked chicken, rice, green beans, and prepared a bowl of fresh fruit for supper last night. She didn't like the chicken, so all she ate was veggies and fruit. It's hard for a midwesterner not to include meat in a meal, I felt like I was starving her. Kyra, my neice, who's a vegetarian, will have to help me to know what to feed this poor girl, since she's not too fond of meat either!
