First Day of School!

Our baby started Preschool today. It's hard to believe. She walked right into her class like a big girl and never looked back! When Nana picked her up, Madeline's teacher told her that she was lovely, mature, and was going to be a piece of cake for them! We are so proud of her! Now if she could just be that well behaved at home all of the time!!! :)

The Kissing Hand

The night before Madeline's first day of school, we read The Kissing Hand. Anyone with a child starting school needs this book! Then we traced her hand. I put lipstick on and kissed the middle of it. Then she wanted to do the same! Jerrod and I both wrote her happy notes of encouragement and she put it in her backpack to take it to school with her. It was so sweet! I'm glad we were able to do a special activity to make starting school even better!

She loves this song.....

She starts Kinderdance class this week...maybe we should have explored singing instead!

Update

We have been really busy lately! Here's an update on Madeline: Since school started, she has been staying with Nana part of the week, and with a new sitter the other 2 days. She is loving it! Her preschool starts next week, and we had her open house today. When her teacher said, "Hi Madeline, it's nice to meet you!" She said, "It's nice to meet you too!" She is such a little adult. She is reading 20 words, and is writing like crazy. She mostly writes her name, Mama, Nana and Daddy. She is all about the toys, and is totally into her friends. Give her a play date or a birthday party to go to, and she's a happy girl. First day of school pics to come soon!
