Well, we survived the first week! Praise God! Madison thoroughly enjoyed her first week of school. She really likes her teacher and is making new friends. Some of the highlights include:
* Madison has had problems going to bed for the last 1 1/2 years. For the most part, she has slept on the floor of our bedroom on a small pallet. We've talked to many experts, a therapist, and some well intentioned friends and the problem persists. Until the first week of kindergarten! Our bedtime problems are now self correcting ones because Madison is EXHAUSTED at the end of every day. She barely makes it through dinner and then we send her outside to play some more. By 8 Pm, her eye lids are half open and we put her in HER bed without any resistance. I am loving kindergarten!!
* Every morning, Kim and I have packed a lunch for Madison. We've given her lots of choices and a few have come back upopened. On Friday, we received a bill from the cafeteria. Apparently we failed to explain that you either bring your lunch OR eat in the caferteria. To Madison, life is a buffet from which you pick and choose!
* I love my children. However, they don't always love each other. Madison and McKenzie can fight with each other to the point where I want to pull my hair out. But not this week. McKenzie has cried every morning on our way to Mt. Sinai because she misses Madison so much. Madison is McKenzie's rock. Madison shows McKenzie how to behave in new situations. It has brought me to tears nearly every morning over the love they have for each other.
