She's a big girl now...

Maddie has a "BIG GIRL BED!!"...she thinks it is so CUTE! We finally got the crib out of her room and put the toddler bed up! Madison was quite chuffed with it. She is funny when we ask her about her bed she always says "Chute bed Mommy"...which means "Cute bed"...she hasn't attempted to get out of it yet either..she stays put...thank goodness. She LOVES the fact that she can get into it herself without any help. I have been slow to move her into her toddler bed...infact i have been slow to do anything "big girl" like...even potty train!! I am BAD i know...i guess you get lazier with each kid and i know how much i miss the baby stage. i promise that this next week i will start the potty training... {rolling eyes}...i can just hear my sister now "That is just gross...you still change her dirty diapers!!!"...LOL

Our little Graduate!!

Well last night Matthew graduated from first year of Preschool to the 2nd year of Preschool!!! LOL It was so cute seeing them up there singing their little hearts out...i was so impressed with them. The best part of the whole Graduation was afterwards when Matthew came back to sit with us he gave me the nicest hug i have ever got. He just hugged and hugged me, it was so nice and sweet!! LOVE this boy :) So Janine...here are some pics for you, the lighting in the building was AWFUL so i had to take them from far away then zoom in on them later....but at least you can see them and they are not super blurry!! :)
