I have heard that the Princess (or, as she calls herself now, The Queen) has not been getting enough time! So, here are some pictures of Maddie! And maybe a few of her with her baby brother, too!
Maddie has been enjoying both "Church School" and "The Woods School." She attends "Church School" (Preschool at our church) Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her favorite day is Tuesday because that's the day they have Chapel. When I pick her up she always knows something new about God that just amazes her! It fills me with joy!!! "The Woods School" is also Christian based and is at the Hemby Center (part of the YMCA). It's 30-50 acres of woods and ponds and other fun outdoors stuff! There's also a building where she has class, but she likes the outside stuff the most!
Maddie is adjusting really well to having a new child in the house. Eli is always the first person she wants to see in the morning and after nap time. She loves to play with him and hug him! They are both quite fond of each other! We (amazingly) have not had any problems with sharing or any of that stuff. Not even sharing Mommy and Daddy, though you can tell she misses her one-on-one time! And she does NOT want us to take her brother back (something I have heard parents say their oldest has requested). She did say that Eli left some toys in Ethiopia and we all needed to travel to go get them, but Eli would still come back home after he had his toys! She also says that Ethiopia is next to heaven. I didn't know how to explain that in some ways she's spot on and in some ways it couldn't be further from the truth (at least in my mind). But I think she will love visiting Ethiopia in a few years (a few as in 7-10, not a few as in 2-3)!
