Fall Festival

We went to Midway on Saturday for the Fall Festival. Madeline had a ball getting her face painted, riding a train, feeding animals and going on her first pony ride. It was a lot of fun, but it was too hot to feel like fall.

Her first bike

Look who got her first bike this weekend! She had great weather to ride in, and she had so much fun!

The dirt pile

Grandad got a big load of dirt delivered this week and Maddie has been having a ball with it! She pretends she is mountain climbing up it, shovels it, rakes it, finds toads, and all kinds of things.

Our Little Dancer

Here is a picture of Madeline in one of her dance outfits. She LOVES dance class!

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!
