First day of Kindergarten!!

I can't believe that Madison is in Kindergarten. It makes me feel old. Madison was so excited for today. She started asking 7 days ago(about every hour) how many more days until school starts. It is finally here! We went to back to school night last night and talked to her teacher. Her teacher is Mrs. Lepien. Madison thinks she is really cool. Brett's mom also came by last night and gave her a pillow case so she could get a good nights rest and a book called "The night before Kindergarten". That got her really excited. She went to bed early. (those of you that know her that never happens) then she woke up at 1:30 and asked if it was time to go. I told her no and to go back to bed. She started back to her bed and turned back around and asked if it was still OK if she wore her butterfly shirt. She had no problem getting up this morning at 6 am. Thank goodness school started at 8:00. She was not nervous at all. She told me she would be fine and she would see me after school. When I went to pick her up the first thing she said was KINDERGARTEN IS SO FUN!! She has lots of Friends in her class. I am sure this will be a great year for her.

Brett was telling Madison last night when we were at back to school night that both her mom and dad went to that same school and room when we were her age. She thought that it was so cool. She has been really interested in what Brett was telling her so today she asked me what we looked like when we were in kindergarten. So I went to Brett's mom's house and My mom's house and pulled out the old Pictures. It was quite funny to see her reaction when she saw my picture. She looked at it and said WOW! with big eyes and then laughed. With Brett's picture she said he looks really young.:) I thought I would give you all a laugh and post the pictures. Enjoy!!

Every year Brett's work takes us to the Zoo. We have dinner and then we can hang out until we want to go home. It is something Madi looks forward to all year. The first picture is of Madison with the spider monkey's. When we go to the Zoo that is the first place she wants to go. Brett always is telling her she better watch out or he will come after her like a spider monkey. Well the first time we took her to the zoo we were walking by the monkeys and she said look dad a spider monkey. We laughed at her thinking she didn't know what a spider monkey was, but sure enough the sign next to the fence said spider monkey's. Kids are smarter than we think. The other pictures are of the rest of our time at the zoo.
