Madie's first day of preschool

Well, today's blog is mostly about Madie.  (Although there is a pic of Luke and Jilly at the bottom too.) It was her first day of preschool!  She was up at the crack of dawn as usual. I usually wake up Jillian around 6:20 to get ready for school and Madie is always biting at the bit to get in there and wake her up too. (-:

I had been explaining to Madie that today was her first day of preschool. She kept insisting she needed to go to "Jilly's school." I am in a carpool with another Mom for Jilly.... so when Ms. Apryle came to get pick up Jillian, Madie was very distraught that she did not get to go with Jilly. The next two hours may have been the longest hours of my life and we watched the clock click down until 9 am when preschool starts. Madie was bouncing off the walls ready to go. She just did not understand why Jillian got to go to school but she was still at home with me and Luke. (-:

Finally around 8:45 we loaded up and headed up to "school." The preschool is at our church so she is already familiar with the building and was excited when we pulled into the parking lot. The preschool encouraged the kids to bring a stuffed animal because they were going to have a picnic with all the stuffed animals at the start of the day.  When Madie walked in and saw the picnic tables with snacks and all the big stuffed animals on the floor she was geared up! She ate a quick snack and snuggled with some of the giant stuffed animal the preschool has and then we got to walk to her class. Mrs. Traci her teacher welcomed Madie and that was it.....she was off.  She was ready to play, learn, mainly be a big girl. (-: I am so proud of her. She isn't scared of a thing and I know she will do great this year.

As for other two darlings.....Jilly is still doing great. And Luke is surviving two older sisters. There has been numerous "passie" snatchings by Madie.  Luke has also had to deal with watching the daily fashion shows that the girls put on as well as Jillian's continuous singing concerts in the living room. I'm not sure who is going to appreciate these quiet mornings without the girls more.....Luke or me. (-: 

I hope everyone is having a great week. Love to all.
