The Newest Munchkin

Apparently, based on family history the teachers had all bet that Madeline would be the most likely of the new munchkins to shed a tear or two on her first day, but our girl surprised everyone, and seemed to enjoy her first day of munchkin-hood. When we arrived this morning the incomparable Ms. Aiyne showed Madeline the babies and read her a favorite story, Blueberries for Sal. They had spaghetti for lunch, Madeline napped, played with Thomas trains, and even did the slide 'all by herself' according to big brother Patrick, who did a great job looking out for her. I got a HUGE hug on the playground at pickup, and a laugh as Madeline walked over to her hook and removed the photo we'd carefully hung above it this morning; I'm not sure she realized she was coming back tomorrow. But that is another day. We all went out for pinkalicious cupcakes to celebrate a wonderful first day of preschool.
