Flying by ....

Unlike my last post --- the summer is now flying by!! Ryan has been home more and we've been working on some home improvement projects, so I've been busy!



Before I know it, Josh will be off to first-grade, and Maddie to Kindergarten!! Seems like yesterday she was 2 years old, crying her eyes out, begging to stay home with me as I dropped her off at PreSchool with Josh. And now she is off to the "big school". I hated leaving her at Trinity PreSchool, afterall, she was my baby. But school was good for her. Once she stopped crying, she realized that she had been crying right along side her future best friend, Gianna (they were sharing the crying chair for the month of September!). This made going to school very inticing everyday...she and Gianna have been inseperable ever since. (See above for the partners in crime!)

Now that she has left the safety of Trinity and her little friends who would greet her at the gate every morning, I have a whole new problem: Kindergarten. Maddie says she is excited, but I can see in her eyes that she is a little scared (maybe a lot scared). Maddie "talks" a big game, but we'll see!! Even my social butterfly Josh had a hard time on the orientation day...so I am a little worried for my "I don't know you, don't talk to me because I will look at the floor and not answer any of your questions" Maddie. (Actually, she will do this even if you DO know her!) ha-ha!!

Only time will tell how she does in this new chapter of her life. I am really hoping her shyness is overcome, and that she really gets to enjoy and have fun in Kindergarten!! Maybe she will surprise me, and run off not at all scared; or maybe she will cry and I will cry and it will be a hard day all around! I will update!
