T.G.I.F.

Wow! Thank God it's Friday! If you would have asked me on Monday, I would never have thought that we could have made it through this week! I am especially proud of Mimi, she has really adjusted well to Pre-School. She's learned so much and everyday is a new adventure! She may cry in the mornings when I drop her off, but by the time I pick her up and get her home, she's showing us everything that she's learned during the day. This past week, our cousins Cameron, 10 and Courtney, 13 have been at the house during the day. After school, Madison gathers us all in the kitchen, including "GiGi" (grandma) and watches us closely to make sure that we are following her lead. First she marches in place and says "1...2...1...2...1..2..."; then, "turn-around...clap....clap....clap...."; next she puts her hands behind her back and says, "twist...twist...twist..." She then reaches up in the air and then reaches to the floor and says, "up...down...up...down..." If one of us stops for even a moment, she immediately comes over to us and gives us proper instruction!

We already see the benefit of putting Madison in pre-school. In just one week, she's really learned a lot. She's gotton accustomed to the routine fairly quickly; even her tantrum on Thursday showed that she was getting used to the way things were done. We are very proud of Madison. Have a GREAT weekend!
