Maddie



Maddie,

We just had our first parent-teacher conference for you.  Just as your dad and I suspected you have a voracious appetite for learning.  So much so that your teacher wants to set aside some time during the week to start to teach you how to read.  I can't tell you how much this excites me.  Also, this will come as a shock to no one, you love to hang with the boys.  Come toy time you're hanging with Marky and Dennis playing with planes, trains and automobiles.  You've even encouraged a few girls to cross that line, for which your teacher is very excited.  Napping at school rarely happens for you.  Every adult in the room sighed when we broached that subject.  By the time you're reading this you'll know why...a daytime nap that someone is making you take is like winning the lotto.  Regardless, you've come out of your shell and are becoming quite the young girl.  We're so proud Maddie Moo.  Keep up the good work.

I remember Hess's first day at kindergarten...........he got off the bus waving a skinny little book, yelling!! Mommy, mommy, I can read!!
A heart-skipping moment for sure, I'll never forget.

Atta babe! And what a darling pic. Even if she looks just like her father. But WAY cuter.
