This ball of fire started two year old preschool at the end of August! Amelia loves preschool, and she adores Ms. Lisa. Ms. Lisa is known as "MY Ms. Lisa" around here. Amelia has had to be put in her place at school for showing possession over "HER Ms. Lisa" during class. Amelia has grown up so much over the summer, and she is so ready to learn! She is a little sponge in Ms. Lisa's room, and she also gives Ms. Lisa a little run for her money (just like she does to us at home!) Ms. Lisa and I are working together to discipline her decisions NOT her quirky, enthusiastic personality. It is a fine line, but Ms. Lisa is helping ME squash poor behavior while allowing her boisterous personality to shine.</div>

While Madeline is at dance class on Tuesdays, sometimes I have a legit errand to do. Sometimes we wander around strip malls. On this day, we wandered ourselves into Shoe Carnival with no purpose except to play telephone with high heels. Luckily, the store was dead, and our misbehavior was not frowned upon by anyone!</div>

"Mommy! You need dis high heel!" Of course every stay at home mom needs a glitter gold high heel, Amelia!!! I usually don't condone such nonsense in a store, but this shoe store experience was ridiculous. Let's just hope her taste in shoe style changes with age!</div>

We met her teacher, Mrs. Close over the summer as well. Mrs. Close is a seasoned teacher and has been working with her assistant, Mrs. Metro, for 10 years. Mrs. Metro is also a certified teacher. Two certified teachers with 25 kindergartners? YES, please! Eric and I were very impressed with them. Mrs. Close runs a "tight" ship, but she has that tender, calm aura about her that meshes well with Madeline's personality. Mrs. Close is a nice blend of some "old school gotta know this in life" & the latest teaching tools type of woman. As a former teacher, I appreciate that she sticks with some timeless strategies that work, but she is also willing to jump on board with the newest materials & strategies. Again, a nice blend that only a seasoned teacher can pull off well. As hard as I try to put my teacher brain in storage when I'm talking with Mrs. Close about Madeline, it always jumps forward with a question or a thought. Luckily, I know Mrs. Close is on Madeline's side, so we have a lovely working relationship to make the best out of Madeline's school year. </div>

Madeline had a fantastic first few days of school despite her casted arm. Her teacher, her new friends, the principal, and the Kindergarten guidance counselor were all very helpful to her. Madeline was definitely the epitome of a confused, floundering Kindergarten student those first few days. The entire day overwhelmed her - from the fast paced on a schedule class to eating lunch in 25 minutes (those first few days Madeline literally came home with one bite out of her sandwich and ALL of her lunch!) to the morning and afternoon carpool line to doing homework to getting up at 6:30 AM! My favorite line from her first day of school was, "Mommy! It's so dark! Are you sure it's not still nighttime?"</div>

Kindergarten took a few weeks to settle into a good routine, a nice balance of down time before homework time, working with Amelia's separation anxiety, and Mommy working out all the kinks to prevent as many meltdowns as possible. We made it, and this Mama like all Mamas out there got this house running as close to a well-oiled machine as possible.</div>

Madeline is doing well in Kindergarten. First and foremost, she LOVES IT! Her teacher told me at our conference, "Madeline has a smile on her face from the minute I see her in the morning to the minute she leaves to go home. We love her sweet nature." I'm proud of her for her constant willingness to go with the flow, learn new things, try new things, and remain tolerant of the "noisy kids in my class that don't want to learn". Madeline's immaturity is showing in her basic skills. Homework takes longer than ten minutes, and I'm having to work with her more than I anticipated. I am also learning that Madeline has a lazy bone - she will "think" when she really wants me to give her a hint. Guess what?! No hints from Mom especially on something she's supposed to figure out herself. We've had a few "homework meltdowns" simply because Madeline doesn't want to think for herself. She's figured out I'm guiding her in the homework. I will not do it for her. I will not tell her how to do it. I force her to think for herself. Initially, this upset her and caused much frustration. I pull out all of my strategies to help her, but I want her to understand that learning comes from hard work, making mistakes, and learning from them. Madeline has figured that out about Mom during homework time, so things run more smoothly now. Slowly but surely, things are clicking, and Madeline is sounding out words, reading!!!, and spelling!!! on her own. It's pretty awesome. </div>

All in all, Kindergarten has been what we expected - a few bumps, lots of smiles, and some fantastic stories in the car on the way home. Madeline has made new friends, loves all parts of her day, and is learning like crazy. She's always going to be "young", and hopefully that will work itself out with a little bit of maturity. So far, Kindergarten has forced the maturity thing. It's forced me to "let go" a little bit which is a good thing. Eric and I are excited to see the growth - emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We're off to a great start, and it's just the beginning of the year!</div>

(Plus a bonus feature!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wow! What a memorable 5th birthday you had, Miss Madeline Grace! You had a blast with a small glitch. Starting from the beginning of your birthday weekend, you knew you were going to be 5, and you.were.excited! This meant "big kid" school. This meant "holding up a WHOLE hand when strangers ask me how old I am!" Five is clearly a big deal to you, my sweet girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Grandma and Grandpa had grand plans for your fifth birthday! You have been begging them to sleep over at their new house since they moved. Grandma made a special plan since your birthday fell on a Saturday. You were going to spend the night on Friday, have a special dinner with Grandma and Grandpa, sleepover, wake up on your birthday to go to the marionette theater, have lunch out, and come home to celebrate with us! Grandma pulled out all the stops - candles, acrylic wine glasses, cookies, and cake! Unfortunately, you don't look so happy in these pictures because as Grandma was preparing your special birthday dinner, you took a tumble. You were dancing, twirling, squealing, spinning, and who knows what else in your socks on Grandma's hardwoods. You fell, landed on your elbow HARD, and screamed bloody murder. Well, Grandma doesn't get too worked up about "injuries", but this one got her. She knew something was up. You wouldn't let go of that elbow. You wouldn't smile. You wouldn't eat. However, she proceeded with the birthday dinner, and everyone tried to make the best of it. Grandma put you to bed, called us at 11 PM because you were crying in pain, Daddy did some chopping an adult ibuprofen pill conversions over the phone with Grandma, you insisted you were staying the night, and back to bed you went. </div>

After your ibuprofen pill that Grandma fashioned into a kid version, you woke up all smiles even though you were still cradling the elbow. Grandma decided it wasn't broken, but it wasn't right. Grandma consulted with us and shared your insistence on the marionettes, and we agreed to let you carry on with your special date. Grandma's old school nursing came in handy, and she fashioned you a sling, let you wear one of her diamond necklaces (um, Grandma?! Seriously?!), and off to the marionettes you all go!<br />

Despite your little birthday glitch, you had a WONDERFUL DAY, and you were such a trooper which was no surprise to us! Grandma and Grandpa sure did feel awful about the mishap, but falls, bumps, and bruises happen. </div>

Urgent care told us it was a broken elbow. The pediatric orthopedic doctor told us it was a bruised growth plate in the elbow. He put you in the cast for two weeks because you started Kindergarten on Monday, August 19, 2013. Yes. That's right, you turned 5 two days before you started Kindergarten, and you were put in a bright pink cast the afternoon you started Kindergarten. It was an awesome beginning to the school year, seriously. All the "little people" counselors, helpers, and teachers knew Madeline Grace! You didn't need their help, but you sure had the extra help ready and waiting if necessary! </div>

First Day of Kindergarten - August 19, 2013 with your fancy pink cast - Madeline, you no kidding asked for a "pink, purple, and glittery sparkle cast" when the orthopedic tech asked your color preference. He was dumbfounded & looked to me for guidance. I said, "Nope. Dude, she's serious. Got sparkles anywhere in here?" We settled for hot pink!<br />

Madeline's fifth birthday was phenomenal! She celebrated for days! Part one of her celebration began today when my mom and her best friend from church, Ms. Ginny, took the girls to get manicures and pedicures, lunch, and a little shopping. It was a glorious day for the Stewart girls. From Grandma and Ms. Ginny's reactions, I'd say they had just as much fun as my girls did!</div>

What a wonderful start to a fifth birthday! Madeline and Amelia are so fortunate to have a grandparent living close that wants to take them out to do special treats like this. Ms. Ginny's daughters live in Texas with her grandchildren, so my girls are her "special grands". Ms. Ginny definitely aids and abets my Mom's indulgence of my girls.

What a fantastic beach vacation we had this summer!!! This was our first summer spending an entire week away at the beach. We rented a house just perfect for us, and we didn't plan a ton. Our only plans were to relax and enjoy family time. We finally felt like the girls were old enough to be free spirited and spend their days on the beach, their evenings hanging out, and hitting the sack as close to bedtime as possible! It was great fun, and we cannot wait to go back to Fripp Island next summer!</div>

We definitely looked like the Clampets rolling onto the island. I *may* have over packed and over prepared, but welcome to having me as your Mama or wife.</div>

We enjoyed many friends over the course of the week - Columbia friends, Eric's college buddies and their families, and even a dentist that Eric works with happened to be down there...family time was treasured and awesome, but meeting up with friends throughout the week was also very enjoyable. Perfect blend.<br />

My family held its annual McCarthy Summer Lake Weekend this past weekend, and as always, it was a blast. The weather wasn't the best, but we didn't let a few clouds and a little rain shower spoil our fun! There was lots of boating, eating, laughing, talking, and enjoying the family time. Madeline and Amelia love riding in the boat and being with my family! They adore their aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, Grandma & Grandpa rate pretty high on the adored list.</div>

I am so blessed to come from a family that is so close and truly enjoys being together! My children are beyond blessed to have such a loving and close immediate family! You can't choose your family, but I sure would choose this one over and over again if I was given the chance. We are already looking forward to the fall holidays with the McCarthy clan!Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17042310147265748341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32456090.post-52650690815107051932013-07-11T13:52:00.000-04:002013-10-28T16:01:46.387-04:00Madeline's Dance Camp<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Madeline started ballet and tap at her preschool, and she continues to love taking dance class. We are very fortunate to have learned about a small dance school not far from our house from a friend in order to allow Madeline to continue ballet. This dance school holds a summer camp each summer, and Madeline was so excited to attend ballet and tap camp for the week. She LOVED it.</div>

Madeline very much enjoyed dance camp. I very much liked the studio, and we are super excited to start ballet class this fall. It's going to be a good match for us, and we can't wait to see Madeline's growth as a ballerina!Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17042310147265748341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32456090.post-60017910908950684112013-06-24T21:22:00.005-04:002013-10-28T15:54:11.695-04:00Wow! It's for Real!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My, my, my! We have arrived to "big kid" school, and Madeline is so excited. I'm pretty excited too. I know she's "young", but I think she's ready for kindergarten. Making new friends, learning all kinds of new stuff, learning to read, and being a "big kid" are Madeline's kindergarten goals. </div>

Madeline's 4K teachers collect artwork, letter, number, colors, and shapes portfolios for each child, and at the end of the year, we received a culmination of her 4K year in her "suitcase" for kindergarten. It was fun to look through each piece of work, and I could see the growth she made from September to May. I can only imagine the leaps and bounds she will make in Kindergarten.<br />

Yes, this happened at pick up at the kids' care at Gold's. Naturally, I panicked. Then the kids' care ladies panicked, so I panicked even more. They've seen a lot of accidents, but this one freaked them out. Needless to say, I headed to urgent care immediately. One of the ladies went with me because I am not the calm parent in this situation. Two of the ladies kept kids' care open past the closing time to keep Madeline for me. We received a "yep, she smacked it good" at the urgent care and was sent home with a 24 hour watch period. Of course, Amelia was fine. However, I really appreciate the kindness that was extended to me. Those ladies at the kids' care love my girls (and me) like family.</div>

My sweet fella is 37! We celebrated just the two of us on Monday. We went to the gun range to shoot handguns. Eric was so impressed with my instructor that he requested a formal lesson to sharpen his already gun savvy skills. The two of us shared a lane after his lesson, and we shot at the target. Eric's holes were spot on, and mine, well, I still need a little practice. But, it was fun for the birthday boy, and I was much more relaxed making mistakes in front of Eric. Afterwards we headed to the Liberty Tap Room on the Lake for some dinner and birthday celebrating. It was a nice "just us" evening.</div>

Aunt Jen so kindly invited Madeline out to her teaching barn for an informal riding lesson on a former show pony, Sprite. Sprite is a fantastic beginner pony, and Madeline was able to ride in the ring without Aunt Jen's assistance. It was a fabulous time!</div>

However, if you are one of Aunt Jen's students, you must also do the "dirty work" involved with riding horses. Madeline was a little "EW!" at first, but she ended up following all of Aunt Jen's directions.</div>

Madeline did well in this lesson. Jen thinks a couple of lessons a month at this point is what Madeline needs in order to see if this is "her thing".

My sweet husband started my Mother's Day off on Saturday evening when he got home from a business trip. Eric presented me with my card and all the fixins for a fabulous dirty martini. Be still my heart. We grilled salmon and asparagus after the girls went to bed, had a lovely "dinner date" on the porch, and of course a dirty martini. </div>

After church, we had lunch out at the Wild Wing. Nothing screams "Happy Mother's Day!" like wings and beer on the outdoor patio! The girls do really well there, and it wasn't important to me to go anywhere spectacular. I just didn't want to prepare lunch for anyone, so mission accomplished. The girls do really well out to eat on a normal basis, but today, they were true angels. It helped that they were both famished, so they ate and ate. When they were done, they colored and colored. After a fun lunch, we headed to Menchies for ice cream. We snapped a few pictures and back to the house we went.</div>

When we got home, we went for a walk, rode bikes, played on the swing set, took a wagon ride, played in the yard, and relaxed on the back porch. The weather was perfect - not too hot and humid! Madeline and Amelia had a blast, and so did I. It's days like today that make me realize all the day-to-day discipline and teaching is starting to show in the girls' behavior and attitudes. </div>

Madeline's preschool had a Mother's Day Tea to honor us Moms. It was a really cute little performance (they sang "spring" songs) and reception. </div>

I was literally THE ONLY Mom dressed in workout clothes. I only post this silly self picture because as I was showering, doing my hair, applying make-up, and choosing "nice" workout clothes, I laughed. Surely no other Mom is doing this for the Mother's Day tea...only me. I suppose most Moms would just take a day off from the gym. :)</div>

Eric and I had the opportunity for a little just us getaway to Phoenix, Arizona. It was a business mixed with pleasure for him and all pleasure & relaxation for me! We had a wonderful time, and I always enjoy these spring trips with this particular group of dentists and oral surgeons. Everyone is so nice, and I really enjoy the wives' company even if we only see each other one time a year.</div>

I have been wanting to dabble in gardening for quite a few summers now, and this summer, I finally wrapped my brain around it and bought the stuff for it. I had high hopes of "researching" what would do the best in our space, but time got away from me, and I decided to wing it this year. I wanted to include Madeline in this project since she's not really napping in the afternoons, and I thought it would be a fun way to help her learn about vegetables, where they come from, and most importantly, <span style="font-size: large;">tasting</span> what we grow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Madeline was really into helping me. She enjoyed seeing what I had bought for our garden, learning how to dig a little hole, plant the plant, and admiring our work in the end.</div>

It's no secret that my husband is a hunter, and we have guns in our home. Eric and I decided it was time for me to take some lessons at the armory, so I can be less anxious around guns as well as learn how to shoot & handle them properly. Prior to this lesson, I had never held a gun much less fired one. To say I was a little nervous and unsure of myself would be an understatement. However, my instructor was awesome. He was very calming and extremely patient with my shaky, fumbling fingers.</div>

Once I was given all the loading, unloading, gun safety, etc. practice and talk, I took my first few shots. Wowzas!</div>

My instructor brought my target to me at the end, and we talked about what I did (correctly & incorrectly) to make the different shots. He and Eric were both really proud of me for going WAY out of my comfort zone to handle and shoot a gun. Considering I am a total rookie, I managed to settle down by the end of the lesson and actually enjoy the target practice. </div>

Eric was a proud hubby this day. Slowly, but surely, he's bringing me into his world of four wheelers, guns, and hunting. And, he was right, it's fun to challenge yourself to try something new and out of your comfort zone. It was a fun "date" for us, and I see target practice as a new date night for us in the future.</div>
