Madeleine Mae is 5 today.
I still think back to the time she was born and cannot believe the years have pasted so quickly.
.
Some things about Maddie:
favorite food-- COW (that's what she said)
favorite color-- PINK
favorite movies-- Barbie movies
favorite outfit-- skirts
favorite activity-- dress up and swimming
It has been only one day since Katelynn left to visit Grandma for a week and already Maddie is bored out of her mind.
She is following me around like a little lost puppy dog all day.
I cannot seem to make it to the bathroom with out a buddy.
I finally convinced her to play by herself and that didn't last long
When we talked to Katelynn she sounded like she was having a great time.
Then Maddie said, "Kate tell grandma to bring you back tommorrow OK!"
I think she misses her sister!
My Beautiful Ballerinas performed a great dance on Saturday night
We got some great pictures of the girls in action, and once again I was laughing hysterically when Maddie forced her way through the group of girl (ok, she shoved) because they were not were they were supposed to be.
With Kate it was a lot more precise and elegant. These 7 year old really new their dance and followed great.
I decided to add some more pictures and the video to my sidebar so it would be there for a while, so check it out!
It is times like this that makes me really excited to have little girls
Wednesday after the dress rehearsal we got the ballet pictures back. Since tomorrow is the recital I thought a sneak peek was needed.
They are dancing in 'Alice in Wonderland' so ......
Here is my MUSHROOM:
And my BLUE BELL:
Aren't they just Adorable!!!!!!
Today was Maddie's Last Day of Preschool!
I cannot believe that my baby is growing up so fast.
I convinced her to wear the same outfit today as she wore on the first day to compare her growth.

She looks so much more grown up to me!
Here she is with her diploma:
This year has gone by so fast. Now she is a Kindergardener!!!!
Our adventure with Maddie's class at the children's museum.
If I had to give Maddie a Indian name I decided it would have to be 'Cuts with Scissors' because that is what she does best.
From confetti all over the floor, to barbie hair and finally on to her own. (she gets in trouble for each one)
AHHHH!!!
Sunday when getting her ready for church, I noticed her hair was not sitting quite right on one side. On closer inspection I notice that it was because there was a big chuck taken out of it. I knew that she had to have done it because she has been telling me for a while that she wanted shorter hair.I kept reminding her that we would give her a hair cut after her ballet recital (4 weeks away), because she has to wear a bun for that.
I guess that wasn't soon enough, and ther was really no way to salvage a decent long style. So we disguised it for church and then I gave her a haircut sunday afternoon (I made it a little longer in the back on purpose so I could hopefully get it into a sorta bun).
It was really, really hard for me to cut off 6 inches of her beautiful blond hair, but she LOVES it short (I like it better long with ringlets). Now the ringlets are gone and my baby look soo much older:(
Before I cut it (her cutting job):
After:
PS--- She is totally grounded from scissors for a long, long time! At least until I get over the shock!!!!
Maddie, llike most 4 year olds, has embarked on the famous WHY? stage.
It is all too often that I hear: Why? Why? Why?
She is so very curious on everthing we do or say.
Well David finally came up with a brilliant stratagy to bring a hault to the Why.
Whenever Maddie says WHY, he simply say Z (get it Y, Z)
This stops her dead in her tracks, she just laughs and goes about her day.
Funny Girl
