Grandma and Grandpa's house

Yesterday, we went to Grandma Cheri's and Grandpa Bob's house because my step-sister and her family were in town. There were 9 kids there, ranging from 13 years to 11 months. Madeline loved playing with all of her cousins and getting spoiled from her grandparents.

At this age, it seems like there are less and less "firsts." But, we had lots yesterday.

1) First time that Madeline had pop in her sippy cup. My dad just loves to get a rise out of us. He tried to argue that Sunkist was really orange juice.... When Grandpa conceded and tried to get the sippy cup back, she refused and ran away, trying to protect her special pop.
2) First time that Madeline saw a Rated R movie. Grandma and the boys were watching the movie Jaws (!). Grandma Cheri says that she took her out of the room during the bad part and did a good job of explaining why they had to leave (i.e. because people were going to die). Fortunately, even though Maddie told me later she was scared of the TV because of the sharks, she doesn't appear to have long-term effects.
3) First time that she had a milk dud. "Madeline, what is in your mouth?" "A milk dud." It was cute (and a lot of work for her to chew!).
