And she's off....
...to Kindergarten, that is! Maddie's already met her teacher - Miss Melisa - and knows some of the kids in her classroom, but today was different.
It's funny how parents compare our kids to everyone else's. I know Maddie's a fantastic kid. She has a great sense of humor, a growing sense of what's right and what's wrong. She's been reading for a year, and the other day stunned me by telling me the right sum of 8 + 4. She's not ordinary fool, my kid!
I want her to be the great kid in Kindergarten - the kid who makes friends to the lonely kids, the kid that doesn't give a hoot to what others think of her or her hobbies or her friends - the kid who doesn't mind her crazy parents. Don't know whether any of that will happen, but she's off to a fantastic start.
Now, excuse me while I dry my eyes....
