I wanted to write about my kids on their birthdays this year and I am a little late for Madeleine but I am a little late for everything these days so it seems fitting enough. Maddie turned 7 on January 21st. She is our third child (I am a third child too) and has been a sweet loving child from the time she was a baby. Maddie is our "shy" one and has a very hard time talking to people outside our family, even people she knows well. A month after she became a "sunbeam" her teachers asked me if she was able to talk and not much has changed since.
This year she is in first grade and 2 months into the school year her teacher told me that she had asked Maddie a question and Maddie answered her and one of the kids in the class said "Maddie can talk!". Then all the other kids started cheering her for learning how to talk. The mother of one of the other kids in the class later told me that her son came home that day and when she asked what happened at school he said that they found out that Maddie could talk.
The Funny thing is that Maddie can be quite the chatterbox when she feels comfortable. We have a harder time getting her to stop talking at home and she expresses her opinions quite loudly when she is upset. We still worry that she doesn't say anything when someone does something to upset her unless she feels comfortable with the adults around (which she usually doesn't) but she is working on it and doing great.
Maddie is a girly girl and loves pretty things. She spends a lot of her time dressed up and in the middle of some sort of imaginary game, usually involving princesses or cheerleaders or rockstars. She loves to read, to put on plays and talent shows, to play soccer and do help take care of the people around her. She is a great little girl and we hope she doesn't grow up too fast. Love you Maddie

What a cutie!!
Sounds a lot like Nicole-her first grade teacher pulled me aside two weeks into the year (last year) and asked if she spoke. She's doing much better this year. (her thing is anxiety, I got a good book on it and it helps).
So did Liam get glasses?
Maddie is so cute! What a sweet little personality.
