But on to happy thoughts - our sweet little coconut turned SIX this summer!! What the what? She is SO 6 going on 16, complete with spunk, spitfire and sass to spare! But before she grows up on me anymore, I need to take a few minutes to remember Maelee at 6.
*She doesn't get a fever, she gets a "tenchamer"
*Reads her "skipchures" with the family at night
*Sings and dances non. stop. all. the. livelong. day.
*She... loves(?) on kitties and puppies a little more than they care for her to haha!
*Has no fear
*Does backflips on the trampoline and back handsprings on the ground
*Wants to learn to read so badly but doesn't have the attention span to actually sit still long enough to learn lol
*Has already been proposed to at school and given a broken guitar keychain as a momento of that love. Keep in mind we've had 2 days of school so far this year!
*LOOOOOOOOVES make up! Especially lipstick and eyeshadow
*Smacks her gum
*Will snuggle with anyone who sits by her
*Has a big heart and smile
*LOOOOOOOOVES to tease her brother and sister
*Thinks she will turn into a grandma baby when she gets old cuz old people shrink
Oh we love this crazy tornado girl of ours!! Maelee, you were our second miracle. You were the one who answered our prayers after my hysterectomy. You were our first child to usher us into the crazy world of adoption. I was the first to hold you, the first one you saw with your earthly eyes, the first to share tears of joy and awe on your perfect, chunky little face. You have always been the one to keep us on our toes. You have always tried to bring laughter to our home, even if sometimes we don't exactly think it's funny LOL!! You have taught us so much just by being you. I hope you know how much we love you and how much we would do to show you that love. Happy (late, sshhh!) Birthday Maelee!! We are so glad you're our little coconut!
