We wanted to get some pictures of Madeline in front of the house before we left...you know, the traditional "first day of school pics" with her new shoes and backpack. This was our best shot. She HATES having her picture taken these days and when you ask her to look at the camera and smile she just makes these silly faces and dances all around. Crazy girl!
Here we are walking up the front steps at school. 
Standing in front of her classroom. She actually looked at the camera and smiled here!
Mommy and daddy signed her and gave her hugs and kisses. She immediately plopped down on the classroom rug and started playing with her classmates. She had a great first day. Miss Patty said she was a great helper. She has been going to school for almost a month now (she started August 16) and we have yet to have one bad day. She absolutely LOVES going and brings home some of the cutest little art projects. Her best buddy at school, Kaylee, is the daughter of mommy's elementary school best friend. How crazy is that! We love hearing stories about what the days activities entail and listening to her sing new songs. When she started school, she could count to 10 in English and Spanish, knew all of her ABCs, colors and shpaes, and could recite the months of the year. She can now count to 20 (in English) and also knows all the days of the week. She is starting to recognize numbers and letters...she saw a #2 on one of the fire trucks at the station yesterday and was so proud that she was able to identify it. She is the youngest girl in her class, but is the biggest helper. She consoles the kids who are sad. She hasn't had one accident and has yet to cry when we drop her off (or at all, as far as we know). We are so proud of our big girl and are so happy we made the decision to start her in school this year.
