First Day of School


Children's Day Out that is. Ryland loves it there. He has been going for 3 years now and Raylee started last spring. I took them out for the summer since Leland was home so Ryland was soooo excited this morning. All day yesterday was excitement for today. We got what I thought was all of the supplies together last night - mat, blanket, pillow, lunchbox, cup, extra Raylee supplies. This morning we headed to school with much anticipation. Ryland bounded into his new classroom - the Busy Bee's - and saw his friends and began playing with Playdo. I did discover though that this year he needs school supplies! I had not realized. I can't believe I already have to buy my little boy school supplies. I'm not ready for him to grow up quite yet. I'm sure he will be so excited to go to the store tonight and pick out his purchases. Raylee didn't really care much about going into her classroom. She was in desparate need of a nap, so it probably didn't really phase her that most of the other babies were screamming. She sleeps through about anything, so a bed and her bottle would be all she needed.

I am missing them already though. Since my boss is gone this week, without the kids it is very quiet at my office. I'm actually looking forward to 3:00 when I get to go pick them up and hear all about school.

Ryland told me the other day that he can't wait to grow up and be 5. I told him that when he is 5, he gets to go to big kid school. He then proceeded to tell me that he can't wait that long to go to big kid school. Ryland loves to learn. He is going to enjoy kindergarten so much. I can't believe this is his last year with me. I'm excited for him to get to go to kindergarten next year, but I'm not quite ready for my little boy to grow up yet.

**Update**
When I picked the kids up from school I asked Ryland the typical questions, what did you learn about and did you have fun. He learned about rainbows today and made a fruit loop necklace. I asked about his friends. His best friend Nathaniel was not there today, but he still had lots of fun. But the sweetest thing he said was, "I had fun, but I really missed Raylee." What a great big brother.

I can't believe he can even use school supplies let alone need them. I keep thinking of that chubby baby that slept on Tyler's chest everyday when we lived with you guys.

Keynan is doing well. The doctor's appointment went fine except we were there almost 2 hours! That's like an eternity to our world right now.

He slept from 1:30 to 4:30 and then from 6:30-9:30. I actually got 6 hours of sleep! I couldn't believe it.

Awww...what a sweet boy. I'm glad they had a good first day back. I am so sad that Will didn't get to go. I was looking forward to him being able to socialize with some other kids again.

I love the picture, too! I can't believe how fast Raylee is growing. She is just so gorgeous :)

Hope you had a great day...

I can't believe our babies are getting so big. Kalin just walked right in to her class too. Humph...
