GO BEARS!

Addison and Daddy wearing ALL the Bears gear that she could find, for the 3rd pre-season game. She said that she is the Bear's cheerleader, so she was running around the house yelling "GO BEARS!!!"

First Day of Preschool (again) Aug. 09

Yet again, we have encountered her first day of preschool, this time in Missouri. We were tossing around the idea of starting in her kindergarten this year, but Missouri doesn't test out and she needed to be 5 to begin.. I guess this just made our decision easier.

At first Addison wasn't very cooperative, but I enticed ( ok, bribed ) her with a special toy and McDonald's after school, to get her all dressed up. It worked and I got the look I was going for :)

She wasn't too excited to go, but I know once she is there she will do just fine.

Once we got to school, we found her cubby and put her backpack away. Her cubbie is under her good friend Kay-lee's, so that is nice. Although they are sitting at different tables.

Next, we found her seat and she immediately started coloring with the crayons and paper sitting in front of her.

I gave her a hug and kiss and told her not to have too much fun, and off I went :)

Ahhh..finally, some peace and quiet...
Now what??

On the boat

Just for you Nicole...

Big Girl

Addison picked out her own clothes and even brushed her hair and put in barrettes. She was so proud of herself. She has done this before, but not all together and not with such pride :). She even brushed her teeth without being prompted!

My little girl is all grown up!!

Where does the time go?

OR Future Photographer??

My future writer..

Yesterday, Addison wanted me to write down a story for her, so I came up with the bright idea of having her write it down herself! I couldn't think of a better way for her to practice her letters, so I told her how to spell the words and she wrote it down!!

If you can't read it, it goes like this: There once was a princess named Addison. There was a lake with a dragon and no fish. There was a trollbridge.

That's my girl!!
