First of all, our little Maddie isn't so little anymore! She's growing into a beautiful young girl, and these days she prefers to be called "Madison"! Madison has a very busy and fulfilling life of her own these days. She has Alex, the little boy her mama keeps, to play with and keep her occupied whenever he's there. She is also attending a private K-5 program, and goes to school from 8 until 12 five days a week. Then, of course, there's AWANA on Wednesday nights, and some homework to do, too...Oh, and did I mention that she has a new puppy, too?
The other evening I had the pleasure of hearing Madison read to me for the first time! She did an excellent job, and I was one proud MiMi. My mind couldn't help but wander back to my old days of teaching reading in first grade. I've listened to scores of first graders reading out of the very same book, but none of them made my heart sing quite like Madison did!
Madison has always loved books, and I hope she always will. I'm a firm believer that if you can read, you can do anything! Way to go Madison, keep up the good work, and come back and read to me anytime!
