Still Going Strong Chapter Two
"I'm three, mommy!" Maddy said to Lucy with a happy smile on Saturday, the day after her party.
"Yes you are!" Lucy said with a smile.
"Three! That's this..." She paused, looking at her fingers and moving them carefully. "this many!" She held up four fingers. Lucy laughed.
"No, you're this many." She folded down her daughter's fourth finger. "What are your brothers up to?" Maddy gasped as she suddenly remembered why she had come out to her mother in the first place.
"Come here!" She took her mother by the hand and pulled her to the first door on the right in the hall, also known as the room she shared with Will and Luke.
"What are you three doing?" She asked when she saw her two sons sitting in the middle of the room between the three beds. They had chairs from their kiddie table set up and four blankets draped over them messily. Maddy ran over and sat with them behind the contraption.
"It's puppet show time, mommy!" Explained Will.
"Oh! I love puppet shows. Are you using all those puppets that Aunt Cecilia, Uncle Simon, Rachel, Ethan, and Charlie gave you for your birthdays?"
"Yes!" Luke said enthusiastically. It seemed that he loved those puppets more than life itself. Lucy smiled, but was shushed immediately by Maddy.
"Shh!" She said. "The show is starting!"
"Oh, OK." Lucy said with a smile. A butterfly puppet came up above the blankets, closely followed by a bumblebee.
"Hello Mr. Bee!" Said the butterfly, AKA Maddy.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" The "bee" AKA Luke, flew wildly around the "stage", knocking the butterfly out of the way.
"Luke, stop!" Yelled Madison's voice. "Mommy!"
"Luke, please don't." Lucy said calmly.
"OK." He said with a voice full of disappointment.
"Keep going! It's almost my turn!" Called Will. The butterfly and bumblebee went back to their flying. Soon Will's puppet, a Ladybug appeared.
"Hi! I'm lady!" He said. Maddy and Luke were set into a fit of giggles.
"Will's a lady!" Luke called through his giggles.
"Am not!" Will cried. Lucy couldn't help laughing at the scene she was watching.
"Any way!" Maddy called over her brothers, done with her giggling.
"Hi Lady!" Her butterfly said. Luke snorted.
"Ow!" Luke cried, obviously elbowed by Will.
"Hi, what is your name?" Asked the ladybug, moving on.
"I'm..." Maddy paused, trying to think of a name. "Butter!" She said.
"Hi Butter!" Said "Lady".
"I'm Bee!" Said Luke's bumblebee character.
"Hi Bee!" Said "Butter" and "Lady" together. Maddy stood up.
"The end!" She said.
"Bravo!" Lucy cried, clapping loudly for her 3-year-olds. Maddy blushed and she took a bow. After seeing this, both Will and Luke stood up to take a bow as well. "Very good!" Lucy said.
"Thank you." Luke said.
"Thank you." Said Will.
"Thank you." Added Maddy.
"Your welcome. After all that flying, you three must be tired! How about some lunch? Do...sandwiches sound good?"
"Yes!" They answered in unison.
"OK, go to the bathroom and wash your hands first." She said.
"OK!" They said. They ran into the bathroom. In front of each of the sinks, there were step stools, painted by Annie. One stool was pink and one was blue. Of course, neither of the boys would be caught on a pink stool, so they ran to the blue one. Luke got there first, so he washed his hands while Will waited behind him. Maddy ran to the pink stool and washed her hands carefully, with her soap. Lucy had let them each pick out their own liquid soap. Maddy chose one with ducks on the outside, Will chose one with race cars, and Luke chose one with dogs. When they were finished, they ran into the kitchen and sat down at the table in their booster seats. Lucy came over.
"What kind of sandwiches do you want?" She asked. They all shouted out at the same time, letting Lucy hear only a blur of shouts.
"One at a time! Maddy?"
"Peanut butter and jelly!" She said.
"Cheese." Said Will.
"Turkey." Said Luke. Lucy laughed softly about how different they were.
"Please?" She asked, reminding them of their manners.
"Please!" They chorused.
"Oh, Ok." Lucy said. She went into the kitchen, which was feet from the table. She tossed their sandwhiches together and put some apple juice in their sippy cups. She went back to the table and gave each their sandwich and sippy cup.
"Manners..." She prompted them.
"Thank you!" They all said. Happily, they dug into their will- deserved lunch.
A/N: I hope you liked! I got the puppet show idea from the kids in my class. They LOVE putting on show. : - ) Review please!
