First

During lunch, I asked Madelyn if she wanted any mushrooms. She got really excited about it. I also gave Alyson some and she ate them.

Tony to Madelyn: You are definitely my daughter in some ways, but this is one of the ways you are not my daughter.
Madelyn: Who's not your daughter?
Alyson points to herself.

(For the record, both of them are definitely Tony's daughters.)

Second

During Alyson's nap, Tony, Madelyn, and I were watching Finding Nemo. Alyson woke up before it was over. I paused the movie and went to get her. When we came back downstairs, I restarted the movie. Alyson was playing but came over to the couch where Madelyn and I were sitting (Tony had gone out to clear off his car.) and insisted on joining us on the couch to finish the movie. I think she felt like a big girl.
