Catching Up

I have so many posts to catch up on! I just went through a few things, and noticed I had not even posted about Tyler's last day of preschool - which was weeks before the baby came! I am going to back-date many of these posts to make sure the blog stays in some sort of order. You should go back to June to check out Tyler's last day of school, and then you can go to August and September to see some more new posts.

For the Grandparents

1st Day of Preschool

Dylan has been looking forward to going to Preschool for so long now. He has had to watch Tyler the past 2 years having fun. I thought I wouldn't cry this time. As soon as we walked in, his teacher gave him a big smile and walked him over to his cubby. I was glad his back was to me, because my eyes welled up with tears.

I had to quickly compose myself before he noticed, so I asked him where he would like his picture taken. Of all places he chose the water cooler!

Then he sat down to get to work on a puzzle and was not even bothered when I told him it was time for me to go.

He loves his teachers and it is so obvious that they love him, too. We are so proud of you, Dylan!

1st Day of Kindergarten

The night before the big day, I had a bit of a crying fit realizing that Tyler was starting Kindergarten. The next day, with 3 kids in toe, the only one to shed tears was Austin (and scream at the top of his lungs). Tyler was awesome! He walked into his classroom, found his name badge and then found his desk. The teacher invited the parents to stay for reading time, but because Austin was screaming, I had to leave. This made me sad, but Tyler was a brave kid and gave me a big smile and waved me off as I left the room. After school, he had a big smile on his face from having a great first day. I told him I was sorry for not being able to stay, and he just said, "That's ok, Mom! You had to take care of Austin!"

What a mature little man Tyler has become!
