Let the fun begin......

So today the phone rings from the mother of one of the boys in Maddie's class. As a mother, it was my worst fear that her son and my daughter were having problems in school. NOPE... Mason wanted to talk to his friend Madison. So we put the two on the phone together and this is how the conversation went (note: Mason is a twin. Lucus is his brother and they are in the same class! And I only hear her side of the conversation)

Madison: Hello Mason. Why are you calling me? (Giggle giggle)

Madison: Where is Lucas, can I talk to him?

Madison: Hi Lucas. I don't like when you take my shoes off in school. Can you please stop doing that?

Madison: Can I talk to Mason?

Madison: Hi Mason. Thank you for taking me to the nurses office today!

Madison: Can I talk to your mom???

Madison: Hi, Lucas has been taking my shoes off in school and I don't really like it. And Mason was very nice today and took me to the nurses office when I hurt myself today!

I just about DIED!!! I don't think I will ever have to call a parent to handle a situation.. she will call the mother herself! So the mom gets on the phone and I talk to her briefly and she tells me that she will talk to Lucas! OMG!

So not only was a having a heart attack that BOYS are ALREADY calling my little girl... but then she tells the mother that she has an issue with her "other" son! I guess I should be proud of her! LOL! She really is making friends and has a better social life than me!

Maddie is a Kindergartener!

My baby has started Kindergarten! I have to say that the week leading up to the first day was stressing me out! They had a million papers to fill out, supplies to buy, clothes to buy, name tag to make, and much more! She was so excited and ready! I know that... but I have to say the bus thing was the hardest for me. I was so used to me taking her to school. Knowing just were I left her, how she go there and when she would be in my arms again. This was my job!!! I did not like the idea of her getting in the bus with someone I did not know who was driving, going on a path that I was not familiar with, and wondering how she would be getting into the school! I told myself I was not going to be THAT parent that followed the bus on the first day of school, but I must admit I might do it on Monday or Tuesday! I want to know where that thing goes! LOL!! Call me over protective, that is ok!

Maddie was told to make a name tag for school. All of the other teachers supplied the name tags for the kids but not ours! Although this was an easy task, we had a great idea! (we know how to make things complicated! ) I made her an ID badge! It was so simple and easy and Jeff had it printed at work! She loved it, I loved it... (See below!)

Overall, she had a great first day and is excited to go back again on Monday! I am still getting used to her being gone! Still miss her when she is not here... but I am sure that will wear off soon!
