Something To Make You Smile

So our little Madalyn has recently found a new favorite movie. She watches this movie OVER and OVER and OVER. She would watch it all day, and while in her sleep if I let her. I actually love seeing how much she loves this movie because it was MY all time favorite while growing up. And I have to say...I think I still love it the same as I did when I was younger :) I mean who could't love that curly,red headed little girl named Annie?...Have you seen that movie?...If you havn't you should. Below is a link to one of our favorite songs she sings on the video, I say "our" because not only do I love it but my girls love it too...especially our little Madalyn. Click Here to watch. So the other morning as we started to get ready for the day we had Annie playing in the backgroud on our TV and our Madalyn always sings the "Tomorrow" song at the top of her lungs around the house. So I decided to record her on my phone while she sang Annie's "Tomorrow" song. I just can't get enough of this video so I had to share. It definitly started my day with a smile :)



A proud Mommy I am

This past week I had one of my very first parent/teacher conferences with Savannah's preschool teachers. Yes you may be saying,"Really a parent/teacher conference for a preschooler?" Okay well..that's kind of what I was thinking when I first heard it. But actually it's kind of nice as a first time mother whose first child is going into kindergarten next fall to be able to see where she is with her learning skills. Since it's my first experiance with a child in school I have no clue where she should be...I always wonder, is she behind?...Is she ahead of the game? Am I challenging her enough? Am I challenging her too much?..Is she right on track? Anways, so the bottom line is it was nice having a parent/teacher conference for our preschooler. All my worries disappered after the conference, I walked out of the room feeling so proud of our little girl. The hard work that she put into this past year and I as her Mother had put into teaching her the past couple years while she was still at home during the day. Savannah's I guess you can say "report card" was a total of 101/104-this included her reading skills,writting skills, particiaption, recognizing shapes,numbers, the sounds of letters, the difference between a capital letter and lower case letter, ryming,ect. Her score for a kindergarten reading level was in the 90 percentile. Savannah loves to learn. She is much like her Daddy when it comes to that :) I know this is just the beginning of a super journey of schooling/learning ahead of us...but I definintly feel we are off to a great start.
