Madeline has a large group of neighborhood friends. They will all show up at the door and ask for her, usually holding a letter or craft that they made just for her. Then they all scramble to get to her first so the can pick her up, hold her, and give her a great big hug. She is the smallest of the group, so she is fun to pick up.
This is Madeline's best bud Kiana. They could play for hours and Madeline hangs out by the drive way waiting for Kiana to show up. They have an absolute blast together.
