Madison my youngest daughter is 2 1/2 years old, she was born to myself and her mom on January 14, 2004. At the time we found out she was pregnant with Madison we were separated, but it was a happy moment because we had been trying for 6 years and then there she was pregnant with Madison.
We talked and decided to get back together and from that point on things were good, like I said Madison was born 1/14/04. Madison was so loved over the next 2 years by her Daddy and her Mommy and the many relatives, friends, strangers and her siblings.
We separated in January of 2006 and Madison has been living with me since. She is such a joy to be around daily and to see growing into the little toddler she has become. She has such excellent speech and her thought pattern I swear is way above a lot of the adults that I know.
She loves her Dora The Explorer DVDs, Sesame street children songs,all PBS Sprout shows, and the theme song from That 70's Show"Its all Alright", also loves to recite children poems.
Her life is very happy, she loves seeing my reaction to her waking up in the mornings and always has a big smile just for me and I am sure for all the fun things she will be doing during the day.
She Loves her Big Sister "Cristy" ,everyday no matter where we are going she always says daddy are we going to Cristy's. Her and Cristy have became really close since I moved to the same city where Cristy is living, they always give each other big loving hugs and then it turns into typical sibling stuff..you know things like he's my daddy and no he's my daddy. All this attention makes my soul so proud they are my daughters. It also has a jealousy effect on my grandson Isaiah.
On Monday I took Madison to the local pool and she wanted to go into the big pool which is 2 1/2 feet deep at the shallow end. Cristy carried her around in the water and then I did, I started dunking her and she loved it but was covering her nose. Later she was next to me in the water just splashing around and then she was dunking herself underwater without holding her nose and she was even keeping her eyes open, what a big girl and she made me so proud.
Yesterday we were just hanging out at my Ex's house and I went to help her up off the floor and she decided that she would stay put and now she has been complaining that her arm/hand hurts I think it is just a pulled muscle but if its not better later today when she gets up I think I will go get it checked out.
I could write forever about my kids and how happy I am that Madison is living with me and that Cristy and her are so close, the reality is that no matter what, your kids are the complete joy in your life and they need all the love, guidance, and freedom to express themselves everyday.
I have other kids and step kids that are just as precious to me but this bog is about Madison and how she is one happy girl and brings joy to those around her.
