I am excited and sad about Madeline going back to school. I don't know if I should jump up, click my heels and holler, "Woooo hoooo" or if I should ball up in bed tonight and softly wipe away tears. This is how I am before Pre-K, what will I do before my little girl starts kindergarten?? I guess this is what motherhood will be like from now on as I watch Madeline grow and reach various life milestones. All I ask, Madeline, is please slowwwww down! It is going way too quickly!

Organized???!! My, can you come to my house and get me organized like that? Sounds like M. is all set. That is sweet about the doll dressed the same. I guess they don't sell bug outfits for the boys, do they?! : ) And the teacher gift. Maybe I need to put a hint in my boys' ears about that. Haha
Hope you survive her first day. Did you keep some of that tea for yourself?
(Thanks for the virtual hug).
