We went to six feeding centers for impoverished children while we were in Boracay. At each one, Madelyn and Elise looked for babies to cuddle and care for while we were there. Sometimes the babies had been brought by older siblings, who were happy to have a break from caring for the little one so that they could play with the other children.
At this site, the girls actually got to feed this sweet little one. It was a big treat for them to do!It was fun for Scott and I to watch Madelyn with the babies. In the past, although she loves her baby cousins and has occasionally fed them bottles or tickled them, she hasn't paid that much attention to babies. In recent months she's become more and more interested in them. Her Aunt Jenna is expecting our newest niece or nephew any day now, and Madelyn has been talking about how fun it will be to have a baby to care for when we're in the US this summer.

Based on the example of her wonderful parents, I'm sure Madelyn is on her way to becoming a nurturing, loving young lady. I see you, Lynne all over your precious little girl. Beautiful!!
Hmm - what a turn of a corner. Sweet picture of her feeding the baby!
Love those pictures!
Madelyn,
I love this picture of you. You are going to be a big help this summer on our family vacation. Not only will you be taking care of me at the pool. Your going to be helping with all your little cousins who look up to you for being so caring and kind to them.
Love you!
Nannie
