Madison Graduates & is off to Kindergarten...

I am beating myself up... I had the most adorable pictures of Madison at her Pre-school graduation & today I accidentally deleted all but 2 of them as I thought I had already downloaded them on the computer & so when we were at the green belt & my camera was loaded with photos & I needed to make some room to capture some family moments as we spent time remembering Grandpa. I am so sad. I can't believe it. I thought I had already downloaded them on my computer & I hadn't.

So to make a note of it & to add for my journal. Madison Graduated last week from Preschool. She & 3 other children were chosen to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. She stood so proud at the Microphone as she, Cooper & the 2 others lead the audience in the Pledge. There were about 150+ in attendance!! I was so proud of her!!

They had a "Farm" theme for graduation & all the kids wore cowboy attire, overalls, pigtails, boots, anything they had.... Madison was so excited to dress up & wear her hair in pigtails (which I only practiced on her 2 days before we had done it.) She looked great! She then was a star performer with her class doing their part in Old McDonald & she made sure she was right up at the microphone to help with their part. (I had pictures & video of it all! Darn it!)

She was so excited to walk across the stage to get her "Diploma" & they obviously had been practicing! (During this time Brady decided he just needed to be on the stage with Sissy as this was a huge moment for her to graduate & he wanted to be there with her. Most of you know that Brady is a pretty well mannered young guy & doesn't cause much trouble... well, this night he decided he just wasn't going to sit in the audience at all & let Madison do this alone... had to be taken out kicking & screaming cause he wanted to be with Madi on stage helping her do all the things that Pre-schoolers do for Graduation.

Well in all, I got a picture of her with her buddy Cooper that we take care of & they just happened to get put in the same class this year. She has been such a good friend to Cooper & such a help for him as he has reached some huge milestones in his life this past year. Then I got a picture of her with her teachers who were just so wonderful to her & have helped her to learn so much & I am so excited she got to learn a good amount of Spanish as they start teaching that next year. So here is my note that my little girl is growing up!!! (I am not sure I am ready for this next step! But she thinks she is!)
