There growing up too fast...

Well these past few weeks have been busy getting school supplies and clothes finished up. I took Madison to get some tennis shoes for school since they have PE one day a week she needed tennis shoes for that. Well as we were there James spotted a pair of shoes that he was not leaving the store without. Poor thing, he's got such fat feet that they would not fit him and the only way they would fit is by getting two sizes too big; but he doesn't seem to mind.

James has really had a growth spurt lately in more ways than one. He is much taller now and has been losing his baby belly. He has also began to speak even more and now tells us little sentences about what he wants. Of course he is still coping ever word he hears so he can repeat it and learn it so we have to be careful as to what we say around him.

This week my dad, who is a major golfer, decided Madison needed a set of her own. I assumed he was talking the little tykes set or something. Nope, I was wrong. He spent a crap load of money on a real set of golf clubs for her. I was hoping so badly that she would at least seem excited to get a gift but of course she looked at each of them and said "there all pink but what do I do with them" and then she left as if they were nothing. So he is going to take her soon to play and hopefully it will get her a bit more excited. I told him she was too young for them, but he insisted she have them. Well since he got her those he didn't want James to feel left out so stopped and bought a truck for him. James has yet to stop playing with it. He loves it. It goes back and forth and bounces. Every morning he gets up and says "ruck ruck" and takes off. It's too cute.

Well the day came today for her to start school. I know she was in "school" in Virginia. But that was a school located in the daycare and was only a few hours a day; and she could miss whenever without a problem. Now she is in actual school! She can't miss without a doctor's note and she will actually start riding a bus soon. She was so excited that the day had finally come, but I have to admit...I kept tearing up in the truck. It's just sad to think that she is in school now and there's no stopping until at least the year 2022 LOL. I walked her to her classroom and showed her the way that the bus would drop her off and where she needed to go. When we got there I gave her a hug and she said "mom can you please go, my teacher is right here and you need to leave". It made me laugh and think gosh she's already 4 1/2 years old. Where does the time go? So anyways, we made it there and I'm going to let her ride the bus home (only because it's her grandmother driving lol) and then I'll bring again tomorrow morning and then I'm going to let her go on her own. James starts daycare next week, so I'm sure that will be another teary day for me LOL.

Had to get a photo with my big girl!

Ready and extremely excited!
