A Proud Mama!

This morning Maddie presented her oral book report at school! We have been reading one of the 'American Girl' books about Rebecca. I have loved them as much as Maddie. It's fun to be reading something that we both really enjoy. Anyhow, this year at school Maddie has had tons of opportunities to get dressed up for different occasions (one day I will get around to posting about all of them!). For her book report she was to dress as her favorite character from the book, and share about her favorite scene. The whole process was a blast, from picking her scene, to figuring out what to say (with dad :)), to sewing her costume, to curling her hair, and then finally getting to share with her class. She was so nervous. She couldn't get to sleep last night b/c she said she had butterflies in her tummy. Mike and I thought she did really well this morning-she remembered almost all of the details she wanted to share without using any notes:)!!. Sorry the video is such bad quality. She was nervous, so it is really hard to hear her, and I was trying to hold a wiggling Macy so the camera is shaking- sorry.
