Queen for the day

In Madison's class at school, her teacher has a Queen for the day, and the next day, a King for a day. Now, school just started last week, but on the second day, Madison's friend Bree got to be the Queen. Madison has been asking ever since when it would be her turn. I tried to explain the best I could to a 5 year old about patience, and how everybody will get a turn, so not to worry about it. Well, today was her day! Boy, was she excited!! I was working today, so she and Chris came down and showed me her crown that said "Queen Madison!"

As part of being the Queen or King, you get to stand up in front of the class and answer questions. Do you have a dog, what's your favorite color, etc...? Then everyone in the class draws a picture of you and puts their name on the back. The teacher combines them all together, and you get to take the book home to keep. It is so fun to see each child's interpretation of Madison, and it also helps us to learn the names of the kids in her class.
This picture is one of my favorites! A girl named Rachel drew it. I love it because Madison wore a purple dress with black leggings and black knee-high boots today. This girl got every detail! And look at the color blue she chose for her eyes. I love it!
Now that she has been the Queen, we can all relax a little, and focus on the more important aspects of school... Wait, I think being the Queen is most important!! :)
