Tall like a mountain!

Maddie is now 3 years, and 2 months old, officially categorizing her under the term, "preschooler."  Good thing, too, because she will be starting preschool on Tuesday!!!  We've enrolled Maddie into the Altadena Nursery School in Pasadena, which is a co-op preschool about 2 miles away from us.  She will be attending on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 9-12.  It will be a fantastic thing for each of us :), and we are all really excited for her to start!  She has been to the school a few times and last week met her teacher, Miss Dianna, picked out her cubby, and showcased all of her charm for the teachers to gush over. I was so proud. :)

In preparation for preschool to begin, Maddie had her 3 year physical exam last week.  Although she is technically 2 months past her 3rd birthday, her stats were 37.9 lbs (95%), and 42 inches tall..wait for it...100th percentile!! (Are you really that surprised?)  In her words, "Mommy, I'm going to be tall like a mountain!"  And I reply with a big smile, "You sure are, baby girl! You are going to be tall and beautiful!"  I love her carefree cheerfulness with this fact, and I only want to foster it and instill more confidence in her with each day. We'll see if we can beat feelings of insecurity in regards to her height in her preteen years...keeping our fingers crossed!  In the meantime, we are just so blessed to watch how she is growing and blossoming into a beautiful little girl.  Onto preschool!
