They've come a long way from that bathtub in Barberton!
The birthday morning began at school. John and I were invited in to watch Maddie's "Walk around the Sun." She carried a globe (representing the earth, of course) and walked around the circle with a candle in the middle (representing... anyone? That's right, the sun...) At the end of each walk around, we discussed what Maddie did when she was one, two, three, all the way to six. She beamed proudly and walked tall around the circle. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her and she passed out the snack we brought to her friends. It was lovely, and as usual, I was teary-eyed through the whole thing. What a nice beginning to her day.
