The one that I love the most and that Maddie can NOT stand is the one that we started back when she was in Kindergarten. Each year I take her picture holding a sign that says "Madison's First Day of ______" along with the date.
Sometimes we take it at home, sometimes at school but we ALWAYS take it. And Maddie fusses every year. And every year I remind her that we will do it every year until she graduates and that if she fusses too much I'll come to college and take her picture in front of her dorm. I can't wait till the day when she has her own kids and is carrying on this tradition and I get to watch them gripe about it like she did! :)
Here are her pictures from the last three years. It's amazing to see how much she has changed and grown!
And are some pictures from today. (A huge thanks to my sweet friend Erin who edited these pics for me. Thank you so much Erin!)
How did my baby get into the 8th grade?
She loves to remind me.......
"Next year I'll be in high school. Only 2 more years until I can drive Mom."
Seriously?
That makes me want to cry.
Big tears.
Big, big, big tears.
