Madison Rae

Tonight we were at The Shoppes in Chino Hills watching the annual lighting of the Christmas tree, accompanied by Santa and California's version of snow and I couldn't help but watch my oldest baby and think....she isn't such a baby anymore! She is so adorable, sassy, funny, smart, and independent.  Every day she amazes me. Steven swears she's a mini version of me! She is feisty, stubborn, a bit of a perfectionist, and strong-willed.....I guess just a little like her mommy!

She cracks me up with our nightly routine, it has to be EXACTLY the same, EVERY night.  We brush her teeth, read 2 books in bed (usually the same 2 books for weeks at a time, even though she has hundreds), say our prayers, and sing songs (3 songs, in the same order, every night).  First, its "You are My Sunshine" I sing it, then she sings it.  Next, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" again I sing first, and then her. And lastly "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" which is our favorite-we even do the hand motions. Then we talk a little bit about our day and what fun things tomorrow has in store.  She is so precious.  I thank God for her every day.  I don't know where I would be without her to constantly challenge me and make my days so much brighter.

I love you Miss Madison, and can't believe my little blue eyed baby girl is almost 3 years old!
