  • Melani Starts Potty Training

    Melani Starts Potty Training
    I started potty training at 18 months old. The average is a little after 18 months, so I was a little ahead of the game. My mom said I wasn't hard to potty train. She kept a rack of books by the toilet for me, and I loved to read. So I would tell her, "Mama, Im just gunna go try". Then I'd just sit on the potty for awhile and look at books.

  • Melani's Baptism

    Melani's Baptism
    My sister and I were baptized together. She was only a few months old, and I was almost two. Most kids get baptized not long after they are born.

    I started Kindergarden at Forest Lane Elementary. I was five years old, and I was in Miss Henke's class.

  • First Notable Injury

    First Notable Injury
    When I was in first grade, I was playing tag on the ice. I slid, and hit my mouth on a pole, and I chipped both of my front teeth. The next day, I went to the dentist, and got them fixed. That very same day, I went to Hardees, and when I slid down the slide, I chipped them again.

  • Melani Joins Cheerleading

    I joined cheerleading at the beginning of 2nd grade. My favorite cheer was R-O-W-D-I-E. (I don't have any pictures of me in cheerleading from second grade, so I used one from this year)

  • I Can Ride The Tube Ride at Riverview by Myself

    I Can Ride The Tube Ride at Riverview by Myself
    It was the summer before I went into 3rd grade. I always wanted to go down the "Lazy River that Isn't So Lazy" by myself, but I was never tall enough. This year I was. The requirement to go on it is 52". (The average height for a 3rd grade girl is 52" so I was right on track) (Picture is my family and I at Riverview)

  • Confirmation

    Confirmation
    This was a pretty important day for me. There had been a lot of family problems that forced me to wait to be confirmed. Usually in my church, kids are confirmed in 8th grade. I was a sophomore in highschool. Around the same time, my dad also wanted to become a member of the church, and the Pastor allowed both me and my sister to take the new member class with him instead of making us go through 2 years, and have me be confirmed as a senior.

  • Driver's License

    Driver's License
    I finally got my driver's lincense. Everywhere around here was booked up, so I had to go to La Crosse to take my test. I was so nervous! This is my first car. I was 16 and a half when I got my licence. Most kids get it when they turn 16.
