Madeline turned 5 yesterday. Madeline informed me this morning that she is a grown up now and that she will no longer be needing any spankings. I told her that I hoped this was true based on obedience. I am thankful that God gives us more than 5 years to train children!!
This year was a little different for Madeline's birthday fun. She didn't have all her little girlfriends over this year, but I think she still had a blast. I decided that the state of our house and my general disorganization as a new mom of 3 was not a good mix with a dozen little girls. She did manage to have two family parties and a date with her friend Olivia. We took them to McDonalds and to see Wall-E. How weird to think that I have a 5 year old.
At 5 Madeline is unpredictable, energetic, devoted, determined, passionate, and creative.
She is a swimmer, a reader, an artist, a helper, and of course a joy. We are very thankful for 5 wonderful years with her and approximately 1,825 blessed days with her.
