Ready for Kindergarten

Addison is all registered for Kindergarten.  She has all her shots and I have filled out all the paperwork.  She is super excited to go to school at my school.  She is so excited she even puts on her Wildcat shirt.

The other day while she was "helping" me clean up my classroom she asked if she could be in my class.  I told her no, would she like to be in my class.  She told me yes.  I then told her that she would have to call my by my teacher name.  She said she only wanted to call me Momma. 

Her last day at Mrs. Stacie's was Friday, June 1st.  Mrs Stacie is a wonderful teacher and I am glad that Addison was able to spend time with her.
 

Addison learned about different habitats, weather, and plants when she was at Mrs. Stacie's.  Addison enjoyed her time with Mrs. Stacie!  Thank you Mrs. Stacie!

Cupcake Lip Balm

They looked something like this.

Today (2/9/12) we went out to dinner with Uncle Clint.  A yummy Cajun barbecue place.  We had a nice dinner.  We then went to Michael's to get a smock for Addison.  As we were checking out at the register there were some cute cupcake lip balms.  Of course Addison thought they were cute and needed one. She asked and I told her we have some at home, she then told me that she didn't know were they were.  I told her I did and that is all that matters.   I then told her to put it back.  I thought she did.  She went to grab the items we were purchasing, I told her to wait for the cashier to put it in the bag and then she could carry the bag.  Pulling out of the parking lot Addison pulls out the lip balm.  I was horrified!  I knew I did not pay for the cupcake.  I had Jon stop the car, I took the lip balm and took it back inside.  The lady at the counter said hi to me, I then told her my daughter took this and put it back on the counter.  Looking back I wish I would have had her return it and tell the lady she was sorry. 

When I got back to the car Jon was telling Addison she would go to bed as soon as we got home.  On the way home there was threatening with jail, how horrible it was to do something taking things without paying.  Once we dropped off Uncle Clint and arrived home Jon told me to hold on before I got her ready for a shower.  He made her tell her grandparents what she did.  After her shower she did not want to get ready for bed, because she did not want to go to bed.  She went to bed crying.  I think she cried herself to sleep. 

I hope we don't have to deal with this again! 

Four and a half

Today Addison has been with us for 4 1/2 years.  It is hard to believe that she has been with us that long.  It seems like yesterday. 

Today she had to say goodbye to a beloved teacher, Mrs. Gail.  Mrs. Gail has enjoyed Addison since she was going to the CDC (Child Development Center) twice a week, when Addison was only going hourly.  Back in March Addison started going full time.  They closed that room and Addison went into Mrs. Gail's room.  I am not sure who was more excited Addison or Mrs. Gail.  Due to budget cuts Addison was dropped from the CDC, and we had to find another place for her to go while Jon and I are at work. 

Today when I went to pick up Addison Mrs. Gail made me cry.  She gave me a great big hug.  Then she gave Addison a big hug.  It makes me feel good that my daughter has made an impression on someone as special as Mrs. Gail. 

Thank you, Mrs Gail for everything.  Addison will miss you! 

Planting Seeds

Addison wanted to plant flowers. We went to Target and she choose flowers. She choose sweet peas, zinnias, sunflowers, and shasta daisies. We planted them on April 3, 2011. Here are pictures of her getting the pots ready and planting the seeds.

Just add water and they grow...

Maybe a little more water

Water the seeds so they will grow...

First Dance Recital

Today, 4/2/11,  Addison had her first recital. 

She has been going to dance class for about two months.  She really enjoys going.  I drop her off every Saturday morning for 45 minutes.  The dance teacher is great with her.

Today's dance recital was Disney themed.  The girls were to dress up as their favorite Disney Princess.  Addison of course was Tiana.  She did a great job.  The first time up on stage she took her Minnie doll.  She quickly realized she probably should not have her on stage and put her on the floor in front of her.  She did a great job and made me smile.

Dinner with Uncle Clint



Happy New Year New York Time

Happy Family

Happy New Year California Time

Hope you all had a great evening and that the new year has been good to you so far.  We had a very quiet evening.  We went to dinner with Clint then came home and celebrated the New Year New York time.  Jon found a station that played the ball drop.  Then Addison went to bed, Jon followed soon after.  I stayed up and read.  I took a picture of Addison California time, could have taken the same picture of Jon. 

Merry Christmas 2010
