Belated Happy Birthday to Madeleine October 7, 2009

I am a bad mother.  Yesterday I posted a birthday posted for Mason’s birthday, but last week I failed to post for Madeleine’s birthday.  I was in party mania.  The kids has separate parties this year, which made life a little chaotic.  We managed to get through it and it was lots of fun, however, the result was no other activities got done for a few weeks.  I will post exiting party details later this week. 

For now,  here is a belated Happy Birthday post for Madeleine.  September 28, 2009 Madeleine turned 4.  She is no longer a toddler.  She is a little girl.  She is sassy, opinionated and full of spunk.  That is a very polite way of saying she drives me a little crazy.  I can foresee a bit of the teenage years and I am scared.  She has a distinct fashion style (and has had one since one, note the necklace in the picture), she does not like to do her homework and she hates to eat dinner. 

She is also sweet, smart and kind.  She is becoming an amazing artist, loves her big brother, is very good with her manners and is very social.   She loves going to get coffee (aka hot chocolate) and then followed up by some shopping.  Shoe shopping is her favorite.  I think this stems from all of the shopping I did on maternity leave.  I have even dragged her along on my pedicures and she does just fine.  One on one she is amazing. 

I hope our “friendship” lasts a lifetime.  I enjoy that time with her.  I am exited to see her grow and change over the next couple of years.
