Okay, I give up! I will get all the past-due posts done, but I just can't keep putting off the most current ones! This is such a big milestone that I can't make it wait....
Madelyn started preschool today! I know she was in daycare preschool before and that it isn't kindergarten yet, but this is something she has been looking forward to for a LONG time. Madelyn and her closest friend, Lillian, are in the same class. We ended up driving up to the building at the same time, so they walked in together. It was so cute!
Of course, I had to bribe Madelyn to have her picture taken. She is NOT interested in having pictures taken. Actually, she hasn't been for over a year now. I don't really know what that is about. But I asked her, "If you could have anybody take you to school today, who would it be?" Of course, either not understanding the question or trying to be sweet, she answered with a smile, "Momma!" I said "ohhh, thank you, would you want someone else to come though?" She answered, "Aunt Christina!!" So, she let me take these pictures for Aunt Christina to see as she went to school this morning. Chris, I hope you don't mind being put of my bribe!
Madelyn dropped off great. She refused to put on her nametag, of course, and went straight to the sand table (of which she has mentioned several times since our short visit last week) and started playing there. I said goodbye, gave her a kiss, and left. No drama... so nice. When I picked her up though, I could tell that she was in a pretty "fish out of water" mood. That will probably fade away over the next few days though. She talked about the teacher reading a funny book and eating snack and the teacher saying that she needed to wear her nametag because she was afraid of getting "mixed up". I can't believe how fast my little girl is going up....

Yea for you for going out of order! And happy start of school, Madelyn!
If you need the posts to be in order, you know you can always "fix" the dates, right?

Hi Mellie Mae, do you mind my using that nickname? I just got an email today from Lizzie Lynn (Smith) and she has completely embraced her Aunt Lou nickname. I wish I could think of one for Mary and Stacy, their names are not alliterative. (Is that a word? hmm) Anyway, I wanted to thank you for posting these pictures. Madelyn looks adorable. I love how you fixed her hair. I wish I could have been there to peek in the door of the class room and see what all she did and what all she said. Enjoy these sweet times in you life. These are precious days. Love, Aunt Lou
