thank you, post office!

this is a short one. we went out to run a few errands today that we didn't get to run yesterday. our first stop was the post office. the lady helping us noticed that madelyn was talking about the mickey mouse packaging available and offered her a sheet of disney stickers. madelyn said "thank you. wow! stickers."
i told her that she couldn't take the stickers off the sheet until we got home - and she didn't. not that i was surprised, madelyn is incredibly obedient. still - the allure of stickers is not usually something she can resist.
she fell asleep on the way home from our last stop so she went straight to bed instead of getting to play with her stickers. shortly after waking up she remembered her new stickers and asked for the "mickey mouse stickers". she immediately used them to cover her face (she had removed some from her face and moved them to her shirt before i could get the camera) - this is typical. (she is saying "mickey mouse" instead of "cheese" in the first picture.)
and then she took the two nemo stickers and put them on the palms of her hands. for some reason this struck me as very funny. she was clapping her nemo stickers together. she was willing to show them to me but only as long as she could see them too. this was the best picture i could get of her palms.
she ended up with a mickey mouse sticker on her forehead for like three hours before she remembered that it was there and took it off.
