It's not Fair

Landon's 1st day on Wednesday...


Laurel's 1st Day on Thursday...


Well, another school year has started. I have got a Second Grader...doesn't that sound official? And a Kindergartner. It is really not fair...the time is just slipping by. Landon and Laurel both said that they loved their first day of school. Landon knew all of his classmates except for one little boy, and he said that he really likes his teacher.

Laurel woke me up at 6:15am this morning to have me help her zip her dress that she had picked out the night before. (keep in mind that school starts at 8:35am) They rode the bus, I wanted to drive them, but Laurel has been watching Landon get on that bus for 2 years now, and she was determined that she was going ride that bus this morning.
She said that she had a really good time on her first day and that she made a new friend, but couldn't remember her name! Landon walked her to her classroom this morning...he is such a good Big Brother!

I have been in tears all week. Actually yesterday was worse than today. I did have a break down once I got into the car to drive to work, but I had to get over it fast since it only takes me 3 minutes to get there...

Landon still has his two front teeth, I will keep you posted on that too.



Getting off the bus.

Teeth and Ears!

Well, Landon FINALLY has 2 loose teeth! He is the last one of his friends to lose a tooth. In fact most of them, if not ALL, have lost several. Every time we go to the dentist, I ask if this is normal, and she has said that they will eventually come out, and that the later it happened, the better his adult teeth will look. I hope she is right. Anyway, he hasn't actually lost one yet, but his two top front teeth are definitely loose. And he is trying to hurry the process by wiggling them all day long. I will post pictures when the event actually happens. Pop told him that the Tooth Fairy will leave him $50 for the first tooth so he is very excited! I will have to let the POP Fairy know in advance so that maybe he can make arrangements with Western Union! :)

And...I finally broke down and let Laurel get her Ears pierced last week. She has been asking since her little friend, Addy, got hers pierced last school year. And even more after Norah got hers pierced. And I must have told her that I got mine pierced when I was 5, and that was a big deal to her. And when she was in MS in July, she nearly had Nonna talked into letting her get it done. Luckily they didn't because I would have been sad if I had missed it.
Anyway, she wasn't even nervous. She didn't even cry..or flinch for that matter. She got to pick out her new earrings...Pink Daisies. I was very proud of her for not crying.

That is all the news I have for now...here are some pics from Laurel getting her ears pierced.
