Busy Maddie...

Madeline's been doing great in school and all the activities she's involved in. She actually was moved up to 2nd grade the week before Thanksgiving! All her test scores are high 2nd grade level and they thought it would be a good idea to just move her. I was a mess with the decision! I kept picturing my baby girl sitting among all these huge kids! And the thought of her now being 12 going into high school and graduating at 16 was overwhelming at times. But... after two weeks she came to me and wanted to go back to 1st grade. She really missed her friends and being so much younger than the kids in her new class was hard for her. I had no problem supporting her decision! We talked to the principle and teachers and she's back in her own class but still goes to the 2nd grade for reading and math. Phew!

Lets see, what else... Soccer is over (thank goodness) but was a lot of fun. She has a ballet recital coming up end of this week and just wrapped up art classes. She's going to start a Mad Science class in January where they learn all kinds of crazy science experiments. We had another jr. dance team clinic she participated in and other than that... just staying busy, off the streets and out of trouble! LOL We got our tree last week, finally and she decorated the whole thing (except for the lights) Jeromy and she got some crazy lights for the front yard that made me decide to take over that job next year! Husbands and 6 year olds shouldn't be allowed to pick out that kind of stuff with out mommy supervision!

Well, she won't be my baby for much longer! I can't believe it! I have a hard time coming to terms with the fact she's 6 1/2 let alone thinking of her as someone's BIG sister! She's so excited for Libby to get here. Oh two beautiful girls...
