Today…you are five.

You are charming, sensitive, sweet, smart.

You use big words and never seem to miss a beat when it comes to telling a joke.  

You have the biggest laugh, the prettiest smile.

Your Auntie Sheena told me the other day that the older you get, the prettier you seem to be getting.

It scares me for when you will be 16.  

You have such a big heart. I love that you constantly want to pray for those in Japan, whenever you see a car accident or something scary or sad you immediately want to pray.  To be honest, sometimes that isn't always Mommy's first instinct, but I am so glad that it is yours.  

I hope you always stay that way.

I love that you love Jesus. He loves you.

I love that you love your baby brother. That you put up with him beating you up.  

I am so thankful that God allowed me to have a little girl.  I was so sure I was going to be a mommy of all  boys. 

But God gave me you.

You are one of my greatest accomplishments.  

Happy birthday Madison. I love you.  

Love,

Mommy
