Maddy Laughter

I was tickled silly by the latest comment. Maddy does, indeed, often look very serious in photos. This is not to say she is not a very happy, cheery little girl - as this post will testify to! Strangely enough, she often assumes a very serious expression just before she laughs! Perhaps a comical device she has learned to employ!

It is nice to notice that she is often very thoughtful and observant. She often appears to be taking everything in, and can sometimes be completely transfixed by the simplest of things! Church seems to spring to mind, when she can stare and stare at the ceiling, or the Mass being offered on the sanctuary.

I can appreciate that she'd make a good philosopher, or nun, or housewife, or all manner of things. We will try to ensure she has lots of opportunities to explore her interests as she grows up, and will support her in whatever virtuous vocation she feels called to.

As far as smiling and laughing are concerned, she seems to have developed quite an astute sense of humour, and enjoys laughing along with us. The top picture is of Maddy dancing along to keyboard music (a particular favourite of hers!) Other things that make her laugh are looking in the mirror, blowing raspberries, peek-a-boo and other funny games!! If you ever meet Maddy, you will find it very easy to extract a smile from her sweet little face!
