I did it myself

Maddie with the presents that she wrapped for her friend Olivia's party.

Tonight I came downstairs to find that Maddie had wrapped presents for her friends Birthday Party on Saturday. Snowflake paper and blue painters tape were just two of the highlights. All I could do was laugh and smile.

I called her over to ask about the wrapping job and she said "Do you like it? I did it all by myself" How sweet. She then went on to explain that she originally was going for a bag, and none were big enough. Then she looked at the wrapping paper and most of it was Christmas. The snowflake paper, well it matched the blue tape that she had found so obviously it was the perfect choice.

At the end she looked at me a little worried. I think she was afraid I was going to re-wrap the gifts. Instead I asked her if she would like to tie the two together with ribbon and make a card for her friend. "That will make it perfect mom! Livie will love it". Yes Maddie, I think she will, and most likely her mom will have the same smile on her face that I had when I saw the packages.
