Maddie and her new gift

Maddie was scheduled for a T&A surgery and Christmas is right around the corner. Mimi and Pop got her a Christmas/ get well gift that she was going to get before her surgery. She was very excited to get it. 

Her gift was an iPad mini and a good protective case to go with it. She was so excited. She started jumping around saying that she could text and FaceTime now and she didn't need my phone or iPad now. Then, she started saying she didn't need the tv because she could watch Netflix on her iPad now. 

To say that she was excited would be a complete understatement. We set it up before she got it, so all of her stuff was already there. She immediately started using it and we lost our little helper. We started getting texts right away. 

At first, we thought it was cute that we would get text messages from her. She would tell me how much she loved me and 'thank you' over and over. She would take pictures and send them over to us. The next day, Mimi decided it was a good idea to show her how to use the emojis. So, we proceeded to get a million different emojis from her. One emoji for every text. Haha. Our phones kept beeping. I am really surprised that our phones didn't break from it all. 

Then, she would come in the room where we were doing whatever it was for the time being and ask us if we got her text. We would reply back yes and she would say that we need to text her back and walk out of the room. Talk about a sassy little thing. 

Over the past few days, she has really enjoyed getting to use it. She hurried up and got all of her chores done, so she could use her iPad. 

She is really enjoying her newest present. She will tell anyone and everyone who listens all about her new iPad and how she loves it and how she can text and FaceTime now.  I'm sure she will enjoy it for a very long time. Let's just hope she calms down on the FaceTime-ing me while I'm in the same room. Haha. 

Until next time... Have fun, be safe, and enjoy life.
