How to describe this daughter of mine?
She is determined. When she wants something she really wants it. When she believes something to be true, she really believes it. This is a good trait. And a not-so-good trait. It is something that Greg and I will have to prayerfully curve to be used in good ways. The most obvious example of her determination currently is something we deal with most days ... what she will wear. She has some set opinions on what is suitable to wear and it is hard to change her mind. She will wear things that are pink, black and or white. Sometimes brown. Blue is out and grey / silver is definitely a no-go. Lots of fun each morning!
She a cuddler extreme - always ready for a hug / kiss. She loves to climb onto my lap, and snuggle in for a good long time. She reminds me of her love many times each day: "Mom! I love you and I like you!" Which brings me to another Maddy-ism: she is very attached to me. We still have tears when I leave to go to work or go shopping in the evening - even when she is staying home with daddy. She already has fears about school - and insists she will not go unless I go with her.
She loves her baby. Maddy is often found carrying her baby around. And when she is not holding her baby she makes sure it is well cared for - it is very common to see Maddy's baby sitting in the middle of the floor surrounded by toys, or sitting in the exersaucer, or sitting in the carseat ...
She's a talker. Maddy is always talking. She loves to tell stories. She also loves to sing. There is always something coming out of her mouth! She has a bit of a lisp, which makes her talking all the more cuter. She has an excitable personality and this comes out in her speaking - her stories are never boring! There is always much expression - from high pitched squeals to loud, low comments.
Maddy always has to go pee. And I mean always. (random tidbit of info, I suppose, but it definitely describes her!)
She loves to draw and colour, and is pretty good at it! She loves stickers, paint, playdough - anything creative! She also loves dogs, all things birthday (she loves to have us sing to her), singing, swinging, biking, and the list goes on :)
She is quick to learn and very excited to do so. She knows most of her letters (and their sounds), can rhyme, count to 39 (although she never includes 15), spell her name, and recite several Bible verses and songs. She desperately wants to keep up to her big brother!
Things she loves: dogs, all things birthday (she loves to have us sing to her),
We love our Maddy and are so thankful for the joy and vibrancy she brings to our life. She keeps us hopping, smiling and laughing :)
