Maddie turns 6

Our little girl turned 6 in a blink of an eye!  I'm very late in posting but she wanted to have another Pump it up party with her friends.  She actually preferred NOT to have a house party which shocked (and elated) me at that same time!

A little bit about Maddie at 6:

• This girl is full of spunk.  She's still hanging with the boys in most social situations and always holds her own.
• She is tentative at school.  I think being the youngest has her a little intimidated and feeling like she's always trying to catch up.  We're working on that.
• If I would let her eat only one thing, it would be pasta.  Every. Time.
• She's seriously good at basketball and soccer.  Her confidence is usually at an all time high when she's on some sort of athletic court or field.  I love that.
• She and Jacob LOVE and HATE each other.  With so much passion it's unreal!  Their sibling rivalry should be documented!
• She still wants someone to lay with her every night.  In this big house, she gets nervous up in her room at night.
• She can take or leave an ipad, tv or any type of electronic device.  She wants to be DOING something.  And as exhausting as it is for mom and dad, I love that she really could care less about electronics.
• She has so much personality balled up into one little person.  I really don't know where she gets it!
• She LOVES babies and if she's ever around a younger child, she plays the role of mommy every time.  Good thing we are having one soon!
• All she wanted for her birthday was a car she could ride around in!  Thank goodness for craigslist. :)

We love her with every ounce of our souls and celebrate the unique, wonderful kid that she is!
