Madeline recently turned 4. Where does the time go? As a special birthday treat we invited her for a sleepover. Today after a sweet little lunch with my nephew and his girls we hopped into the car for a silly ride home. Just the two of us. It is one of those magical little moments that you hold onto. I know someday as she is celebrating major milestones...I will still see her as the little cutie pie in my rearview mirror smiling away.
First we played with the little horse and barn. Then it was Barbies in the townhouse. (She prefaced this session with a statement about how she didn't like to play with them...she did ok!) Then the cousins joined forces for a day of a little bit of everything. Madeline played the accordion while the dog sang along. We played in the kitchen, made dinosaurs chase dollies and baked brownies. The four year old showed the older kids how to eat like a champ and we washed down a nice dinner with fruit and warm brownies.
Next was story hour. Madeline read Green Eggs and Ham ...word for word...perfectly. Then we all took a turn reading a pick. Ella got in a few goodnight licks. Cousins exchanged hugs. I have decided she needs to spend every weekend here but I'm not so sure I can convince her parents...after all she is pretty darn cute and I think they would miss her too much! For now I'll take what I can get!!!
