July 17, 2008My little girl is after my own heart. You don’t even know how it warms my heart of what my little girl did last night.
It just doesn’t feel right, that she is 5.5 years old. It seems just like yesterday, that this was us.
You know when I was pregnant with Madisyn, every morning I would drive into work, I would talk to her and sing to her. I wanted her to know that mommy wanted to be the best mommy ever to her and protect her in this crazy world that can be oh so cruel sometimes.
I have alway wanted to instill great quality traits in my little girls. When she brought me a cup of lemonade last night and said here mommy, I made this all by myself for you since you are not feeling well. She had went into the kitchen and made a whole gallon of lemonade all by herself. I took a sip not sure what to expect, and it was the most delicious lemonade I had ever drank. I praised her and gave her big hugs and she said “Mommy, I am ready to start my own lemonade stand.”
I got tears in my eyes, this just confirmed that I an indeed doing something right in this journey of motherhood. Motherhood changed me so much and I love who I am today. Thank you Lord for choosing me to be a mother to two wonderful children. Now this is what life is all about!

What a lovely, lovely story. For your little darling to be that kind and generous and thoughtful and loving and giving (and entrepreneural!) at such a tender age is a tribute to you… yes, you are blessed beyond measure! Group hug!!!!
And I’ll be in line for that cup of lemonade, too!!!! Heck, I’ll buy the whole jug!!!!
So Sweet! I LOVE having a daughter!

That is adorable! I think you should definitely let her go for it. When my baby sister was 4, she started a cookie business, selling chocolate chip cookies in the market. She sold out every Saturday and actually earned more money than me that summer! (I was 16). She even paid her own way to Disneyland the following year . . . so even little kids can go pretty far with their own businesses.

That is so sweet what she did for you. It warms my heart when Caleb does sweet things for me just because. And the fact that she wants to start her own lemonade stand - how awesome is that?!
