Madelyn Anne aka Patty. Gosh. I could go on for days about this girl. What an incredible, smart, sassy, funny, energetic, kind, passionate kid. The girl that could talk before she could walk. Maddie is our social butterfly. Anything Landon is lacking she makes up for tenfold. They couldn’t be more alike and more different at the same time. Just like her older brother, Maddie is incredibly smart. She is finishing up kindergarten reading on a second grade level. Unlike Landon, she speaks her mind and doesn’t typically hold back. She is not at all shy and makes friends in minutes. Everyone at school knows Madelyn. And they all love her! I’m more like Landon, shy and reserved so it’s fun for me to see my daughter be so outgoing and social. Maddie always has a bag packed “in case of a last minute sleepover” with whoever will have her!
Madelyn is such an easy going kid. She loves to have plans and go places but is also totally content to hang out at home. She loves to read, write and draw. She adores her younger brothers and on good days is best buds with her older brother. On a bad day, watch out! This girl’s temper can be something else. Madelyn is the greatest helper. She will help me when I’m in the kitchen, folding laundry or even bathing baby Dylan. She loves to bake and decorate cupcakes. Sprinkles are her jam! She typically cleans up after herself and hates when her room is a mess.
One of the best things about Maddie is her confidence. This girl will wear a mismatched outfit and totally rock it. Pants that are two sizes too small but they’re her favorite and she isn’t ready to part with them yet. Her hair is almost always unruly. She is not afraid to be a little different and she tends to live outside of the lines. As far as we’re concerned, if she’s not hurting anyone or herself, who cares! I gave up fighting with her over her hair and clothes a long time ago. The last thing I want to do is dull this girl’s shine!
