Kindergartener!!!

My oldest baby, who is really not a baby, started Kindergarten this week! I can't believe it. I was a little emotional, but pulled it together and made it through the day! Madison was SOOOOO excited, she picked out her outfit and shoes and was ready to go! The night before we got her a special book called the Night Before Kindergarten and we read it oh about 10 times before she would go to bed....In the morning I made her m&m pancakes, played around the house, daddy came home and she went to the store to pick out a flower to bring to her teacher. She was all ready to go, so we snapped some photos and headed to her big girl school! She was thrilled, we met her teacher, we went into the class, where the mommies and daddies wrote a special note to their children (the teacher would read to them later), colored a picture, listened to a story "The Kissing Hand", we kissed each others' hands and the parents headed out (I got majorly weepy) and we went to Mugs and Muffins for the parents, to mingle with other moms and dads!

I got to go home for a little while and then headed back to pick her up! She loved it! She brought home a picture she drew and told me her teacher was not only nice, she was pretty too! Then when I told her she got to back the next day she shouted "YES!" I am so glad she is happy, she is going to have a great year!
