My Skinny Guy

Well we had Linc's 15 month appointment on Friday and we got the stats. He is average on height and head circumference, but he is below the 3% for his weight. He has only gained 2 oz in the last three months. I can't believe it. He's gotten to that in between stage where he is to tall for 12 month clothes, but not tall enough for 18 month stuff. So he will be in 'too big' clothes for the next little while I guess. Some things he has started doing lately are that he tries to 'run', it looks like he is hopping as he is walking, he climbs things (he climbed up into his highchair today), he blows kisses, he says
pease - please
daint dyu - thank you
Jees - Jesus
Muma - Mom
Dat - Dad
shooos - shoes
side - outside
hi
bye - usually whispered
and he loves to try and walk down stairs (he holds on to the bannister as much as he can).
We love this little guy. Pictures to come soon.

First Day of School

I thought I would post my version of the first day of Kindergarten - whew I'm glad it's over. Putting it in the words of one of my cute kids "Man, Kindergarten is hard work!" I concur. I guess I forgot how tiring a full day of teaching is. I feel like all I have done is talk for the last two days. The first week (even month) of school is so crazy. Just trying to teach all the kids the procedures for simple things - like how to walk down the hall quietly, when to get a drink, how to sit on the carpet, and on and on - seems constant. My students were probably bored out of their minds for a good part of the day, but we did do some fun things. I just hope that my kids had as good of time as Hyrum did.

School

I can't believe how the summer has flown by. I can't believe that in 5 days I won't be seeing this as much as I do now. I can't believe that I will know about 50 new little faces two weeks from now. I can't believe how hard it already is. I can't believe I've already cried. I can't believe there are people who do this more because of want than need. I can't believe I have two more years of this. Ugghh.
