My baby girl turned 5 few weeks ago! I cannot even believe 5 years has gone by, but then I say that more so with my 12 & 14 year olds. Today we got up to start our day and Lauren, my middle daughter wanted to get Maddie ready. She helped her pick out her clothes & braided her hair for her. When they came downstairs, I knew I needed to take a snap of her because she looked so cute. LOL! Lauren had told her I would want to... do they know their momma or what! I'm so glad I did- This afternoon, Maddie had a dr appt to get her ears checked. She has had problems with ear infections since she was a baby (tubes in ears, etc). I forgot all about scheduling her physical for Kindergarten at the same time. Her dad texted me late this afternoon while I was working to tell me what all she was having done. I felt so bad that I was not their with her..... for the physical she had to get shots, but even worse she has a wart we recently found right between her big toe/2nd toe (yes,for all the show lovers out there it's right where all the cute flip-flops & sandals will rub) They had previously tried to put acid on it to get rid of because freezing it would most definitely be painful. Needless to say, they had to freeze it today, ouch! I decided to head that way & wait in the lobby to surprise her (I knew they were almost done). Here they came through the doors and as soon as she saw me, those huge aligator tears came pouring out. She jumped into my arms & hung on super tight. I felt even worse that I hadn't been there to hold her hand...but so glad I decided to be there when she came out. AND even more glad I had taken the few minutes to take the photo of her this morning. I will always remember the day when I see it, the story that goes with it...
I took one of my favorite pics of Maddie last April and it was in the same outfit that she wore today. I couldn't resist putting them together and seeing just how much she has grown, fast as a weed. She is definitely looking like a little lady these days.
