This week, we had a trial run at a preschool. I tried to get some pics before we left, but Maddie was only interested in her waffles (as you can see by the chubby cheeks). She has been in private child care since she was 10 weeks old, so it was hard for me to think about her being a big girl and going to "school". Every week, Marty and I watch how excited she gets to go to Sunday School and play with other kids, so we decided it was time to make the move. She's 18 months old, and we know it will be good for her. I know she is going to get sick being around so many other kids, and that is probably the hardest thing for me. I will get over it eventually, I guess. Anyway, when we arrived, we walked her to her class, she smiled at the other 5 kids, waved, and said "hi, babies". Then she walked over to a little girl and gave her a hug. It was very sweet, and of course she didn't notice me leave. She took a nap on a mat for the first time, which I couldn't believe. She has always slept in a crib or a pack-n-play. I was so proud of her. She made her 1st magic marker art project, and you can see by her hand that she enjoyed it. We will get a report on her each day, and her first one was great. Her teachers said she was an angel (which we already know!). Our baby girl is growing up.
