On Tuesday, my little Miss Maddy turns 10! Every year, I think that "this year and this age" is really the best (and, of course, it is). Some of my favorite things about you lately, my sweetie-pie, are . . .
- You are a hard working student, always wanting to do your best. Makes me so proud!
- You do your homework right away after school and we study for tests together.
- You love animals -- dogs, cats, horses.
- You love to watch movies and we often call Fridays -- home movie nights! Recent fave - Home Alone -- the original!
- You enjoy hearing about how I sang to you (Farmer in the Dell - for hours on end) when you were a baby to get you to sleep!
- You say everyday -"No offense Muffy, but you really have dragon breath in the morning."
- You often wonder what Muffy is thinking and what she would say if she could talk. You want answers, so I come up with whatever I think Muffy would say.
- You and Dad like to run errands together and plot ways to bug me!!
- Donut holes on Saturday mornings are a must have!
- You love hanging out with your friends. You especially love that your friend across the street has a Corgi who is BFF with Muffy!
- You love getting together with Philip, Catherine and the kiddos and Connor.
- You have so much fun playing with little Janie and Walt.
- You often say "no offense, but . . . " Kills me every time!
- You love to sing along to music in the car and don't even mind if I do too!
- Your favorite meal would include chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken or chicken legs and chips.
- You are thoughtful and sensitive.
- You still like to play with stuffed animals.
- You love DisneyWorld and Mickey Mouse.
- You dislike Mondays -- in order to make Mondays manageable, we call them polka-dot Mondays and you wear a polka-dot hair bow on Mondays and Mondays only.
- You have the most beautiful dark eyes, black hair and big smile.
- You want me in to come in school to pick you up instead of waiting in the car.
- You still like to hold hands.
- You are the very best daughter ever!
- You are a blessing in our lives and we thank God for you every single day.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

I love how she still likes to hold hands. How wonderful. I hope she always does.

Happy Birthday to your sweet girl. I agree with Lea...love that she still holds hands. Natalie will do the same on occasion. Unfortunately I see those signs of affection slowly leaving. The other day she got so upset with me when I kissed her in front of all her friends at school. She told me to only give her a hug from now on. That was a hard one for me to take in.

So very sweet and thoughtful Jan! My favorite is Polka Dot Mondays, what a great way to start the week! Who doesn't love polka dots?
Great to see you yeserday, hope you crossed some things off your shopping list.
I can't believe your sweet girl is almost 10! Before you know it, she will be driving!
Enjoyed reading your list! Maddy is definitely a blessing to your family!
Have fun celebrating her special day!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful and sweet Maddy. I am feeling so nostalgic and when I read on FB that she was turning 10, I really could not believe it. Our girls are growing up too fast!!!
P.S> Harry is 11 and will sometimes still hold my hand:)
Beautiful post. HB Maddie!
