Madeline 7 year update

Our precious 2nd grader is thriving and continues to blow us away every single day.  

- She is loving school this year.  2nd grade has brought joy back to reading and writing and her teacher, Mrs. Noonan, has given her such good praise and reports.  She is thrilled to be in class with her friend, Taylor Buck, and enjoys YMCA After School 3 days a week.  

- Madeline tried out for, and made it into the Mini Dance Company at APA this year.  She is such a great little dancer and is excelling at ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and tech (gymnastics).  We'll go to three competitions in the new year so this is a whole new experience for Madeline....and mom!  Cousin Avery is in the company with her, so that will make travel fun with Avery and Aunt Rachelle in tow!  She has also enjoyed participating in the NC State Dance Team's dance clinics, where she has performed at Pack-a-Palooza and a women's basketball game.

- She has become an avid NCSU fan.  She'll still pull for ol' Wake every now and again, but it's NCSU (and boo Tar Heels) most of the time.

- She loves Taylor Swift and JoJo Siwa. Favorite TV shows are Bunk'd, KC Undercover and Hey Jessie.

- She is in Relay Exchange with mom and Y Guides with dad, which has given her some special time with us both individually, and a chance to learn new skills with friends. She even went on an overnight camping trip with daddy and her Y Guides group (the Karate Kittens).

- She is in choir at church and loves singing under Mr. Todd's leadership (Mr. Todd's son, Clarkson, is her little "boyfriend").

- Special friends are Clarkson Arant, Taylor Buck, Mae Spotz, Piper Overman, Zoe Ripper (and she has a crush on Sam Hakooz :) ).
