Just to have it down for the record, today Maddie has repeatedly — and that’s the key thing — taken multiple independent, unsupported steps. She started vuggestue yesterday (visiting for about 45 minutes, and slightly longer today), so maybe she has her sister’s penchant for peer pressure induced advancement.
Either way… a few small steps for Maddie Marie, a few GIANT steps for Maddie Marie!
(We find ourselves saying Maddie Marie more and more, even though she’s really just Maddie. Maybe it’s the habit of using her sister’s quadrosyllabic name all the time. Never mind that: whatever I write or say, she’s just Maddie. Their names are Molli Malou and Maddie.)
Congratulations to Maddie!
