Madeline's Update!

Okay, for any who may have been waiting for the end of all of the updates, this is the last one before my posts should be current:)  I think this process is part of my nesting, maybe?

Madeline has had a great few months.  We added another day of gymnastics and she is starting to get much better at her back handspring.
This was a little while ago and she is now doing it by herself on the floor but still has some nervous feelings about it and is working on building her confidence.  She is also doing her round off back handspring by herself too!

She still loves Art and is lucky to have some friends who love to come over and share the love:)
Here is a picture of her dance picture for this year:)  We only do one pose even though she has 3 different costumes because they are so expensive.  We chose jazz because it was the cutest and this is her first year to take that class.  I just want to throw up some jazz hands when I look at it:)
She is also doing so well in school.  She has made all A's on every report card and has been put in a more advanced Reading class.  She is up to 152 Accelerated Reader points and is reading books on a 4th and 5th grade level.  She loves to read a big variety of books.  Some of her favorite series are:  Judy Moody, Ivy and Bean, American Girl books, and these Fairy books (I can't remember the name of the series:).  It makes me smile to go check on her at night and find her still reading instead of going to sleep:)  I remember doing the same thing at her age. 
We are so proud of all of her achievements and are looking forward to spending the summer together and watching her grow as a big sister to two.  I am looking forward to seeing her develop a relationship with her new baby sister:)
