Maddie's first day of Kindergarten

 I am old- I have a kindergartener. This is so cliche- and I've read other people say it, but when it happens to you, you find yourself saying the same thing. How could it go so fast? Life really does go slow/fast. One minute you are teaching your baby to walk, and the next you are walking them to kindergarten. I know it will be only a matter of time, before I'm driving her to college. It makes me so emotional- but I guess the best we can do is appreciate it the best we can.

Here she is:



 She LOVES kindergarten. Everyday she pops right out of bed, and can't wait to do all of her morning routine/chores so she can jet out the door. We are so lucky and only live 1 1/2 blocks away from school, so it has been such a blessing to walk everyday. Her teacher is amazing- the perfect combination of strict/nice/heart of gold. We are so lucky.

When she comes home, she loves telling me about the troublemakers at school who made a mess in the bathroom, or the playcenter she did, or what she did at recess. She also likes to remind me that I put too much food in her lunch and she is too full. Duly noted :)

 Here in Cali, we have 30 kids in each class. Yikes. But, the teacher is so amazing, and we have a student teacher, so it seems to be working!

They have had colors each day of school- ie, Green Tues, Purple Fri... it has been a workout to find colors that she can wear each day- but fun. The only color we couldn't really represent was orange- so not bad!

I am so proud of her- she is such a great student and is reading/writing so well :) I love this girl and I'm so glad she is having such a great time at school!!!
