My little Maddie has been growing up. With all this growing she has questioned why she isn't going to kindergarten this year. She has been working hard on reading BOB books. She has shown an increase of understanding why. She has been saying really thoughtful prayers including today she heard her friend autumn up the street was under the weather last night and prayed she would feel better. Later this afternoon autumn felt well enough to play soccer with Maddie and the other Pink Ponies. Maddie has been playing hard on the field and learned to ride a two wheeler this week! Of all these things of which bring a smile to my face and my heart to swell. Then something really wonderful happened tonight. We had our friends over for a BBQ. We love our friends and have their families in our prayers. We had a fire and asked Maddie if she wanted to sing a song for everyone. She told us to wait while she got ready. She got a dress and nice shoes on, had a pretend microphone and brought out pens to give "auto-grams" out after her performance. She came back and said first I want to sing my favorite song. We all assumed that would be "let it go" or something Katy Perry. Next thing we know she is singing the sweetest version to both verses of a Child's Prayer. It really made me proud. She sure is beautiful inside and out.
