Maddie and I went to the Dallas Zoo with her playgroup. It was such a fun day. She waited all day to see the elephants. (She has a stuffed one. She wanted to give it a chance to say hi to its family.) When we got to the elephants, the doctors were working on her. A few days later, we were listening to the news on our way to the gym. They had announced that the elephant had died. I didn't think Maddie had heard it. When we got into the child center, Maddie announced that something really sad had happened. Not sure what she would say, I was very curious. With tears in her eyes and tightly hugging Ella, she said that the elephant had died. It was sooo sad. She still talks about it.

1 penny for your thoughts:
Oh, that is indeed heart wrenching... I can just see her doing that. Maddie will forever be "Peanut" to me because she always seemed to be such a sweet little tyke with a big smile walking (sometimes running) down the hall at church...
