Recently Emily received her very first phone call from a friend. It took a second for it to sink in that the little voice on the other end of the phone had just asked for Emily. The call was from Faith and it eventually ended up in a play date at her house.

A couple of days ago the phone rang and this time it was Emily calling to say that she had gone from Reece's house to Joe's house and she wanted to know how long she could stay.

Wow. Our little first grade girl is growing up. :)

Happy 4th Bday Maddy

Today was a Thursday. You woke up and exclaimed "ITS MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!"

You referred to yourself in 3rd person all day as "the birthday girl.". Like when u knocked on my bedroom door as I changed after work you said,"it's the birthday girl"

It's a thrill to see u so excited because it's the first year that you are really aware of what's going on. You have been talking about this day for weeks. Today u went to the store to pick ou your cake. When u came home you told Emily she could have the largest piece of cake because honestly that's simply how nice you are and how nice we hope you will always be

Before bed tonight you told us that you wanted a new mommy. You mentioned it several times. Mommy asked who you would want for a new mommy and your reply was...

A duck.

Sorry, you can't get everything you want on your birthday. :)

Maddy a day before 4

Maddy I am typing as I sit here at your dance class. Tomorrow is your 4 th birthday. I am stunned at how much you have changed in the last few months.

U are fully participating and in many cases following the teacher better than the others. A song just ended so u ran over to give me a high five as you exclaimed "Papa I did it!!!"

Mom and are thrilled that you are enjoying dance esp since Emily doesn't seem to like it near as much.
