My Preschool Girl

My sweet and spunky Madisen started preschool yesterday. It was a bittersweet moment for this mom. I know she's ready for a change & a challenge, but I'm sad to think that she's growing up so quickly. On the up side we still have 2 years together before she starts kindergarten- she misses the Nevada deadline by 23 days. I think it will be to her advantage to be the oldest.

She was so excited to wear her new outfit & take her Princess backpack to school. She & Caitlyn sure adore each other! You'll notice that Caitlyn is holding a "packback wike Madsen" and Madisen wanted to make sure that Caitlyn was included in the pictures.
When I picked her up she was willing to pose for one quick picture with her fabulous teacher! Her class will consist of 6 little girls. She knows a couple of them, but not real well so it will be a good experience for her to reach from her comfort zone. Miss Katherine said that Madisen was cute & funny, not shy. (I thought she'd be shy at first, but I was wrong.) She obeyed, stayed on task, played well with the other girls, and threw her gum in the trash. All things that make a mother proud.

Em, she is so cute. I love her new school outfit. That will be GREAT to have her in a smaller group of kids. It's so rewarding to hear that your kids are well behaved even when you're not around.

Madisen and Caitlyn you both look so cute sitting on the step. That is a cute school outfit and I like the shoes also.
Love, Grandma

Wow--she is getting so big! It's so nice to be able to see your family! I miss those cute girls--and Caitlyn! Oh my word--what a darling! It's funny to see Mads red hair and her blond. I love it!

I can relate to those "first sendoff to preschool" feelings. How fun for her!
