Maddie was very excited about starting Kindergarten and she just couldn't wait to start. Once she found out her teacher a few weeks before starting, it really felt real to her. We attended Kindergarten Orientation and Maddie was a bit shy at first. By the end of the 60 min. orientation, she was talking to everyone and told her teacher about her loose tooth.
We all walked Maddie to school on her first day. She admitted that she was excited, but also a little bit scared. She held it together the entire walk and was fine waiting in line. However, she had a brief cry when the bell rang and they started heading inside. Her cousin, Claire, is in her class and as soon as she saw her, she was fine. She had a great first day and came out with a big smile on her face. We went to dinner to celebrate and Maddie picked the restaurant.
Maddie continues to love school! She checks her calendar each day to see what she is doing that day. She is such an eager learner and shares much with us about what she is doing and who she plays with. She had a few concerns with one little boy and told us he wasn't always very nice. Apparently he asked if she would be his friend and she told him, "I will be your friend as long as you don't say anything mean." So she is now friends with everyone. Maddie also loves her teacher and and is proud to tell people who her teacher is. We've been very happy with how well things are going and we look forward to all the new and exciting times ahead!
Maddie has always been a dress girl, but she surprised us by picking out her pink ruffle outfit for her first day. Matt had to fix her hair for the pics!
Silly Pic!
