1st "Real" Day of School

This is not the usual early morning smile we receive Miss K. Let's just say she is not a morning person and she gets that from Mom. Her first "real" day of school she woke up without any trouble. She was very excited to wear her new clothes and shoes and get going. "Hurry Mommy, I don't want to be late!"

She requested pancakes for breakfast. A little surprising, as she loves cold cereal, and isn't really into other types of breakfast food. Mom happily obliged and had to take a picture.








As we were walking her into the school across the playground, I went to grab her hand. "Mom, I'm a big girl now, I don't NEED you to hold my hand!" (Mom was a little crushed!) She was excited to get to school and see other kid's from our ward at the playground!

Mom held back the tears until the bell rang and she ran off to line up against the wall of her classroom. Fortunately for Miss K, mom was able to grab the camera from dad and hold back those tears.

1st Day of School

Miss K's first day of school was Monday, August 25. Her fist day was an Open House to meet her Kindergarten teacher and explore her new classroom. She was excited to learn the theme for the year is "Deep Sea Adventures" - she loves the ocean and all its creatures!

1st Lost Tooth

Miss K lost her first tooth on July 24! She woke up July 23 with a very wiggly tooth (see here). She would let me wiggle it, but not take it out. The next day she would wiggle it with her tongue, but not let Mommy or Daddy touch it. Later in the afternoon, she decided it was time to take it out. Mommy started to help, but she wasn't having it, "I'll just do it myself." She wiggled it a little and pulled it right out. She was a little disturbed by the blood, but was over it pretty quickly.

The next morning she was excited to see the Tooth Fairy left her a cute note and $1.00!

Exhaustion

We are way overdue for a post and have lots to share, but it will have to wait for another day!

Today, Miss K and I were delivering the last of the Primary Olympic reminders. In order to get a little more exercise in, I decided to walk. Miss K was adamant about NOT bringing the jogging stroller. We left the house on foot to deliver 15 or so reminders. We are about halfway through the walk and Miss K informs me she is too tired to go on. "Please call Daddy and have him pick us up." As she had been complaining for about a block and her face was pretty red, I decided to call the Mister. As I hung up the phone, Miss K chimes in, "Thank you for obeying me!"

Where oh where has she heard this?! I simply said, "You're welcome." She then reminded me they had been discussing obedience in Primary. Thank you Sister Primary Teacher.

Speaking of teeth...

Miss K needs the following:

2 Root Canals and Silver Caps
3 Sealants
2 Frenectomy's (lingual and labial)

=Outpatient Hospitalization, IV and lots of $$$$

Princess Wars

Miss K. "Mommy, does my lightsaber match my shoes?"

Tooth Alert!!!!

Miss. K has been begging for all (or at least one) of her teeth to fall out for the last two months! I checked three weeks ago and they were all intact. Not so anymore.....we have one really, really, really loose bottom front tooth! If we can just wait until Mr. gets home from his business trip tomorrow (and Mrs. has time to finish her pillow), we will be in business!!!
