Ponytails in the Park...






Well, we finally had a break in all the rain so Maddie and I headed to the park. She rode on the merri-go-round for the 1st time and loved it! Maddie loves the outdoors where she can exlore and there are many "new" things for her to pick up and put in her mouth :)

The little things that make a mommy's heart smile...


When I got home today, Maddie had this waiting for me. It the first "hand-print art" she has made on her 1st day of school. I have always been envious of my friends that have refrigerators filled with their children's artwork they made at school. Now I have the first piece of my own "refrigerator art!" It's the little things in life that make a mommy smile!

Maddie's 1st Day of School






Today was Maddie's 1st day at Mothers Day Out! I know that it is only 2 days a week, but it was a big deal to mommy. We took her this morning and the whole time I was fighting back tears. We walked into her classroom, she looked around, saw Carly (a friend who she has played with before), hopped down and ran over to her......and never looked back and never saw the tears in my eyes. The teacher said that she did great today.....except she didn't take a nap! A toddler with no nap makes a long evening. Hopefully she will get used to taking a nap with a room full of her friends :)

Here are Maddie's 1st pieces of finger-painting artwork!

Sweet Sweet Maddie!








Maddie has so many new interests these days...her babydoll, talking on the phone and her "beep beep" (the car that daddy and I got her for her birthday!
