*won an art contest at school today for a watercolor she did. Grandpa E. will be proud.
*she also lost an ENORMOUS molar today. Quite the bloody mess. Seriously wondered if it was an adult tooth when I saw it.
*is taking tumbling classes with her sisters. Very entertaining, but she'll never see me laugh.
*had a boy at school tell her yesterday that she was "too pretty to be the shark" in a game they were playing. This made her (and my) day! Love playground innocence- if just for a few more months!
*was Cleopatra for half of Halloween and a Karate Kid for the other half. Perfectly reflects her girly girl and tomboy sides.
*FINALLY enjoys playing the piano. This is a miracle and might only last till next week's lesson.
*knows about Santa Claus and everyone else and is the perfect pretender in front of her sisters.
*still loves to cuddle and give me kisses. Something I treasure and hope will last longer than the playground innocence.
*has many nicknames. Maddie and Max are the two most common at the moment. For some reason she is NOT okay with occasionally changing "Max" to "Maxi Pad". Can't understand why.
*turns 11 this month. Where did the time go?
I love you, Madylin Elise Ericksen.
*I'd love to add a photo here, but our most recent ones were taken with Mark's camera and are still in a RAW format. Soon, I hope to erase this message and post one. :)
