June 24, 2004: Maddo has unique tastes in food. Right now, she loves plain, cold iceberg lettuce with absolutely no dressing on it! She also likes plain rice, no soysauce! But her favorite would still have to be chocolate, just like her two Gu-gus. She still loves fruit too, especially strawberries, oranges, apples and bananas. If Maddo refuses to eat a slice a orange, then we KNOW that it's way too sour for us! She can handle a lot of sourness.

August 24, 2004: Maddo started school on July 6, 2004, going two days a week. She was having a hard time adjusting to the school environment and letting go of Mommy. But finally, on August 17, 2004, 7 weeks later, she was in the playground area in the morning, playing with the wooden blocks with some other children and suddenly said, "Ok Mommy, you can go now." I was so shocked, but sooo relieved! Mads is doing well in school and all the other kids like her. On that tuesday, Aug. 17, she didnt even cry the whole day and all the kids in her class were also excited for her, exclaiming to the teachers, "Madeleine isn't crying anymore!" There is also a cute blond boy named Dillon and a cute blond girl named Kyla that like Mads and play with her a lot. But they're older and will be moving to the 3 year old room in September. Maddo's teacher suggested that I add another day to Maddo's schedule, so she can better adapt and feel more like this class is her class. So beginning in September, she will be attending school 3 days a week.
