Madeline had a fun month, and we got to see her interact with her preschool classmates during a pre-Easter class trip to a local playground. Madeline is pretty quiet in class, but usually has a hug and a goodbye for her friends, and plenty of stories to tell about her day as we drive home. It's fun to see those blossoming childhood friendships since Madeline has largely been an at-home kind of kid for the majority of her life. I've seen her get a little nervous around the more rambunctious kids, but also sweetly interacting with others in class or elsewhere.
Here are some pictures from the month:
In addition to planting our own vegetables this year, Madeline enjoyed harvesting some of the natural specimens in the backyard - namely the bunches of onions that sprouted everywhere. She also liked sending them down the sliding board on her new swingset.
That's my daughter, dressed in her fairy outfit - complete with homemade tiara - as she played soccer in the back yard.
Hanging out at Rockwood Park, where we made several trips this month to play on the exercise trail.
We made a stop at the beach near Grandma's house, and Madeline didn't waste any time making herself comfortable in the sand.
Madeline was almost obsessed with pollen this month, never failing to walk past a single, um, pollen conveyor (what are those things called?).
Madeline's preschool class spent a beautiful Friday morning at a local playground for a pre-Easter picnic.
Madeline shows me some of the Easter eggs she helped decorate...
including my favorite, which she made just for me.
I don't know if she has been practicing when I'm not looking, but suddenly Madeline can ride a tricycle like crazy. She loves making laps in the driveway.
