Someone is...

Someone is scooting her way across the floor.

Finding toys to play with.

Her brother's toys that is.

Our life will never be the same.

Let the fun times begin.

Dylan's Bike Day

Dylan's preschool had bike day Friday.

He was pretty excited to ride his bike at school and for me to meet his friend.

I decided to take the day off so I could go and watch and

just spend the day with Dylan and Saylor!

Here are all of the kids from his class getting ready to take off!

They were listening to Mr. Kidd (the director) talk about safety first!

And they're off! Dylan started off in the back, but once he got going he was towards the front!

He loves riding his bike!Saylor enjoyed the nice, cool morning and watching her big brother ride his bike!

Go Dylan! They went around and around!

There were some tired legs at the end of it all! Dylan and his new buddy!

He wasn't so sure about preschool the first few days.

He wanted his old school and friends.

He loves it now and has made friends.

He talks about Zachary and always says they just decided to be friends.

I love being able to go and be a part of Dylan's school.

I know I won't be able to do everything, but I will try my best to do as much as possible!

Picture for Mrs. Packard

My students know me so well.

One of my students wrote a story and drew a picture for me today.

It was about a K-State fish eating a KU fish. I love my class.

I love my job.

I'm a lucky teacher.

Sibling Love

Dylan and Saylor are so in love with each other.

He loves to be right next to her.

Whenever she's playing on the floor, he wants to be next to her playing.

He talks to her all the time and gives her advice. One day in the car he was telling her not to worry because when she gets bigger she can turn her car seat around and have a TV on her side to watch.

He picked out 2 bouncy balls one day..one for him and one for Saylor. I said he could only get one and he picked the one for his sister.

She plays with it and always wants it...like she knows he picked it out for her.

I swear the girl says brubru (brother). I will say mama and I get brubrubrubrubru back!

I will say where Dylan and she looks around for him.

She looks up to her brother already.
Wants to watch him, play like him, and do what he's doing.


This boy also lights up when Saylor is around.
I have never seen him smile as big as he does when he's next to her.

He wants to hold her. Lay next to her. Play with her.


She's going to be a tough little girl.

She already has to put up with her brother playing pretty rough with her.

But those other boys better watch out...she's going to have a pretty protective big brother.

I hope they always have a strong bond and love for each other like they do now.

I love watching them together.

It melts my heart.

PreSchool

This past week Dylan started preschool. He went to preschool last year, but at Randolph with me. This year he is going to Country Side! I was so nervous for him. All summer he said he didn't really want to go and he wanted his old school. When we went to Meet the Teacher Day he wasn't thrilled until he saw his room!! Then he was excited!

I went in to school a little late on his first day so I could take him. As you can see he was very excited! He wasn't nervous at all. When we got to his school we waited in the carpool line and when it was his turn to get out he jumped right out and went in to the school. I was so proud of him. His first 2 days of gone pretty good. He cried the first day and he told his teacher it was because he missed his mom! I still can't believe I have a child old enough for 4 year old preschool. How is it possible that I have to go to Parent Night...when I am the parent and not the teacher talking to the parents. I feel like the last 4 years have gone by so fast. But I guess this is what it's all about...growing up and experiencing new and exciting things. At least I have a while before Miss Saylor will be ready for all of this!

Are you ready for some Football...

Love football, Love the Wildcats.

Excited I have someone on my team

in the household now!
Can't wait for the game this Saturday. I love being in Manhattan, love being in The Bill Snyder Family Stadium, and I love being around thousands of WILDCAT fans!!

Go Cats!
