Queen For The Day

Last week Madeleine was finally Queen of her class for the day! She's been looking forward to getting to be the queen ever since school started and the first thing she'd tell me when she gets in the car would be who was the king/queen that day. I kept telling her to just wait, one day the teacher would pick her name from the jar.

She was SO EXCITED when she hopped into the car that afternoon! Apparently the Queen is also the line leader/supply helper which is a BIG deal when you're in kindergarden! Everyone draws a picture of the Queen too. I think it's supposed to help them learn each other's names.

Here's Madeleine with her book of pictures and her "crown."
And here's the picture she drew of herself. Pretty good, huh? :)

It's amazing how much she's changed in the past few weeks! She's growing up so much and learning something new every day. Her writing has come so far. It was pretty good to begin with, but she wrote pretty much in all caps....now she can write her little letters really good too! I'm impressed with her rhyming skills and the HUGE number of nursery rhymes she's learning (apparently nursery rhymes are big big big in kindergarden.). Last night she even recited the Pledge of Allegience to Me. Correctly.
