Today Maddy had her first "school friend" over for a play date. It was kind of cool because it is a friend she has made all on her own and they have been talking at school for weeks about wanting to play together. I had no idea who this girls' parents were or where they lived, but I told Maddy I would get ahold of her Mom and find a day for her friend to come over. I ended up meeting her mom this past weekend at a b-day party for a different kid in their class, so we got it all set up for Brittany (Maddy's friend) to come over after school today. They were both so excited (as was Colby) and had a great time. It turns out, that they live just a couple blocks away from us, so that is really nice as well.
Tonight, we had conferences for Maddy with her teacher (and also got her first report card). Another first for us!! We had Maddy and Colby go over to our neighbors' house for a half an hour while we went up to the school. It went really well and Maddy is in the top of her class for reading. Apparently there are 5-6 other kids ahead of her in all 3 of the Kindergarten classes. I was surprised when the teacher told us this as I guess I didn't realize they "ranked" the kids in this way. However, I was happy to hear that Maddy is doing good and is also attentive and gets along with the other kids. She really does love school and seems to be having a great year! We are very proud of her for working so hard!! I'm thinking I might take her out for ice cream tomorrow after school.
