Madelyn

Madelyn sure has been busy lately! She started preschool this week...AAHH! I can't believe it! She cried a few boo-hoos but then warmed up to it after a few minutes.

The preschool offeres a "social" type thing for the first time parents on the first day, so we all gathered there and drank....coffee. (I could've used something a little stronger though!) The director offered to go to each childs class and take pictures so we could see how they were doing. What a great idea! So far, we are thrilled with this school - they have a great curriculum, structured (if you know ME...structure is mandatory!) activities, and just fun things for the kids to do. Madelyn's teachers are Mrs.Lee and Mrs.Swift - aka Mrs.Wee and Mrs.Thwif...they are so enthusiastic and caring. We're not so worried about Madelyn starting her education right now...it's more about socialization, and learning to follow directions, and just having FUN! We're so very proud of our BIG little girl!

First day...

She thinks like her Daddy...

with that tongue!

This must mean something....this is how she lines

up her monkeys! A genius??? Or maybe just OCD :)

Mrs.Swift getting Madelyn for school:

Ok...I'll be honest here - after I drove off and saw
Miss Madelyn walking up the steps to her new
school, the lump in my throat burst and so
did the tears! But HAPPY tears :)
