Madelines Big Day~

Madeline finally got to go to preschool this week. Ever since the other two started school she has asked me 5-6 times a day if her school is still closed and when will it open. I love the simple minds little kids have! Her school finally opened on Tuesday. On the way to school we went over a few things like make sure you talk to your teacher and do what she asks. Maddy is kind of shy when she is in a new environment and with people she does not know. When my lecturing was done, she added that she will tell her teacher when she needs to go potty and that she will wipe her own bum. I laughed at that because she had not had a problem going potty in almost a year, but as Grandma knows if she gets lazy, or decides she just does not want to do it, she insists on someone else wiping her bum. So I was glad to hear that she would not be yelling from the bathroom for Mrs. Kim to come and wipe her bum.

Yes, this picture looks vaguely familiar from an earlier post, but it is not. I thought she looked so cute on the others kids first day of school I dressed her the same and did her hair the same!! When she came home from school she told me that she had a good time, but that she was not angry with the kids anymore. I said, "why were you angry with the kids?" Maddy said, " They were screaming at me." Her teacher did not say anything about them not getting along, so after several more questions, I think she meant to say they were staring at her. I love that she hears big words and uses them having no idea what they really mean. I am sure they mean something to her. She has also been my child that makes up her own words!

This morning Madeline woke me up at 6am complaining that she was hungry. She ate her dinner real well the night before, but that was about the only time she ate all day. When I put her to bed she said she was hungry, but I blew it off and told her she could eat in the morning. Well, after 3 bowls of cereal, I came back into the kitchen and found her like this, asleep on the kitchen chairs. Apparently she was HUNGRY and TIRED!

Later in the morning when I was doing her hair, she demanded that it be straight. Maddy has a little curl in her hair that I love. I was putting gel in it and scrunching it, but she would not have it. She said she did not like it curly and wanted it straight. So, I got out the blow dryer and she sat content as can be as I straightened it. Is she really getting old enough to know how she wants her hair done?? Boy am I in trouble!

How can you resist a face like that. I just love her beautiful eyes! No wonder she has her Daddy wrapped around her finger!
