Tuesday through Thursday mornings, I take Madelyn to childcare which is right down the hallway from her classroom. She is there from 8-11, then eats lunch in the cafeteria with her preschool friends as well as the 3 year old preschoolers who attend childcare in the afternoon. At noon, Miss Pam takes the 4 year olds down the hall to their classroom where they have to answer the question of the day before entering the room. School lets out at 3 o'clock and the kids play outside with the childcare clan for awhile. I pick her up around 3:45. Monday and Friday she still goes to Penny's house with Alyssa. This is nice because she gets a good nap on those days and still gets to see Penny and all of her friends there.
The biggest adjustment for Madelyn has been going without a nap. She had been skipping naps prior to school starting but with 3 full and busy days in a row, she is completely wiped out by the time I pick her up. Wednesdays are even more busy because we head straight to ballet from school and don't get back home until 6:30. Madelyn's become accustomed to falling asleep pretty much daily during the car ride after school. It's a tiring week for us all! Needless to say, both the girls crash once they hit their bed at night. Bedtime has gotten earlier with Alyssa is bed by 7 and Madelyn 7:30. Then it's up and at 'em the next morning to do it all over again!
Here she is at open house the Wednesday before school began. It was also right after her first night of ballet at the Academy of the Arts.
My silly girls:
Daddy and his girls:
So proud of my Maddy boo!
My girl & I:
Isn't she beautiful?
Standing by her locker when we first arrived at school. She was a little timid at first:
Love you Madelyn! We are so proud of the sweet girl you've become and look forward to all of the new learning opportunities that await you this year!!:)
