she likes cats.  not in a crazy cat lady way...just in a lovely girl kind of a way. :)when she laughs it's because her smile has gotten so big it explodes into happy noise.my daughter adores her...it's amusing for me to watch their relationship continue and find balance...when they are together somehow she becomes younger in a playful wayand maddie becomes older in their unique relationship :)she notices nuances that most people overlook.I simply love her and love the woman that she is and is becoming.
