Miss Maddie is 5!

Madelyn turned 5!! She had a very special guest at her party this year, Cinderella! She and all her friends dressed up in their fanciest attire while they played games with Cinderella. Fairy Godmother was also there and showed us her magic while they said "bibbity, boppity, boo!" It was such a special day and Maddie had a lot of fun!


Here are a few fun facts about Maddie at age 5:

~She is still very particular with what she wears. It seems to have gotten worse, if that is at all possible! She now thinks even leggings are scratchy! She absolutely hates wearing her coat! She makes me cut the tags out of all of her clothes. Tights are a complete disaster!! I know that it isn't 100% about the clothes being uncomfortable because she will wear something one day and not complain and the next time she wears the same pants, she throws a complete fit! Everyday I hold my breath when she is getting dressed and wonder what will happen! I have tried everything from letting her choose what to wear, giving her options, time-out, losing priviledges, but she still has her complete melt downs sometimes.
~She has some serious drama and attitude! She is a true Diva!
~She can be very sweet and helpful, when she is not being dramatic!
~She still loves dance and gymnastics
~She can be very shy when she is around people she doesn't know or in front of people.
~She still has her curly hair, although as it is getting longer, it is more straight on top, so we will curl it with a curling iron.
~She is very imaginative. She will play in the toy room by herself with random toys forever and she is in her own world! She doesn't like me to listen to her while she talks back and forth with her toys because she says I will laugh at her. She makes me go upstairs.
~She is a HUGE planner! At night she says, "What are we going to do tomorrow?" When I tell her that she will go to school, she then says, "THEN what are we going to do?" I guess she must get this from me since I am a big planner!
~She loves her brothers! She is very sweet and nurturing with Parker and good to play LEGOS with Taggart.

On her actual birthday, she wanted to bowling. We had a great time at the Fun Park and Taggart almost beat us all!


Happy Birthday Maddie Kate (this is what she is calling herself these days!) We love you so much and our house would be a lot less exciting if you weren't around!
