Black Run
Maddie’s skiing has come on in leaps and bounds and this year she did her first black run in Samoens, not only that but it wasn’t pisted and she didn’t fall over! Proud Dad moment! Just hope I can still keep up with her in the years to come.

A grade student
Maddie just got her latest school report and we are delighted with it. A great improvement all round with A’s (achievement) and 1’s (effort) scattered liberally throughout. She has been putting in lots of extra work off her own back as she is determined to get a progress award at prize giving. In addition she…

We can fix you
Hopefully we won’t be seeing too many more of these X-rays but thought as an update to the last entry it was worth adding them. The funniest thing was that I asked the consultant to email them to me and he said that whilst he could, he wasn’t allowed to, which seems odd – then…

Her first break…
So yesterday I happened to be away on business all day, far from home and of all days Maddie happens to pick this day to trip over and break her little finger. Luckily Mette was able to pick her up from school and take her to A&E where by all accounts they were brilliant. She…

Big girls bike!
I had taken the stabilisers off Maddie’s bike back in the Spring and after a few failed attempts to learn to ride without them her bike had been unceremoniously dumped in the garage and forgotten. When we were debating what to get Maddie for her birthday the idea of a new bike seemed like a…

6th birthday city slickers
Celebrating her birthday for the second time – this time actually on her birthday Maddie and her friend Anabel went horse (pony) riding at the local stables. They were both absolute naturals, now I’m sure that’s partly down to the well trained horses who probably do this every day but even so, by the end…

Having a Wobbly
So the day has finally arrived when Maddie has her first wobbly tooth. She is being unbearably impatient though and is desperate for it to fall out. Culminating in a massive strop this evening (or should I say wobbly!) Apparently she is the only girl in her class that doesn’t have a gap in her…

Party Time Again!
Maddie’s 5th birthday. We had a great party at Bedmond Village Hall with a Hannah Montana / High School Musical theme. The highlight of which was definitely the bubble or snow machine.

New School
So it’s still nursery but today is Maddie’s first day at her new school and as you can see she is quite excited. She loves her new uniform. Its a change to our whole routine in more ways than one. I no longer have to take her every morning as for one thing she starts…

Addicted
Today we discovered the joys of the Disney website for kids, it’s keeping her amused for hours (which I’m not sure is necessarily a good idea) but I expect the novelty will wear off. Mette has pointed out that the novelty of playing with computers hasn’t worn off on me yet though and I’m 42…
