First Day of Kindergarten

So I'm a few days behind posting this since Rylan started kindergarten last Thursday but I've been a little busy trying to keep Lilly happy and Kaden from crying.  Overall it all went good...

Last Wednesday was meet the teacher so we went up to the school and Rylan got to meet his teacher and see where his classroom was going to be.  He had his backpack that night full of all his supplies so he put all that away, found his backpack hook, then his spot to sit where he proceeded to sit down.  He thought he was going to school that night.  It was so cute, but we explained it was just to meet his teacher and we had to go home and get a good nights rest. 



Thursday morning came, we got up and took a bath, ate some breakfast and got dressed.  We let him pick his clothes for the day so not everything matched just perfect but he was happy and that's what mattered!!  We then all loaded up in the car to see him off to his first day.





Once we got there, he lead the way to his classroom.  Pretty smart kid for remembering the way after only one visit!  We walked in and he hung up his backpack and sat down.  He seemed a little nervous for just a split second then put a smile on his face for the camera. 

He's now gone for 4 days and seems to be adjusting to it pretty good.  He's in all day everyday kindergarten which from preschool is a huge difference.  Lilly seems to be having the harder time adjusting since they are so close in age.  She's not sure what to do without him around but preschool starts next week so hopefully that will help her.  As for Kaden, he's teething so not much I can do there.  Living the life of happy one minute, screaming the next children!! 

Baby poop...its a surprise every day!!

So Kaden, who turns 6 months tomorrow, has been eating cereal and food for a month now.  So far he loves rice cereal, cantaloupe, strawberries, and avocado but spits out sweet potatoes and carrots.  I'm still trying the carrots though since we just tried those for the first time last night.  Fingers crossed that he'll like at least some veggies.  I'm sure my mother is laughing though since I was such a picky eater!!



I'm making my own baby food since its so easy and so much cheaper.  I think its nuts how much baby stuff in general cost.  Luckily I've found lots of recipes for baby food, and some great charts on when to start feeding them what.  Click here for great ideas!!

 



Since feeding Kaden something other than breast milk the poop has changed...for better and for worse!!  It's a surprise everyday-like today, kinda mustard colored and really soft.  The other day it was a little more solid and brown.  He still only poops every couple of days, which is not unusual with breastfed babies, but I'm guessing the more he eats food then the more often he will start to poop.  Gee I can't wait!!  It's been nice only having to clean a poopy diaper every few days.  Plus his poop doesn't stink that bad.  Kinda have to be pretty close to even know he has a poopy diaper.  Not so much the case with his gas.  The kid could clear a room with that gassy ass!!  Lord love him though cause no matter how smelly his gas/poop is, he sure is darn cute!!

Carousel, Funnel cake, and Face Paint Oh My!!!!

So it's that time of year for the county fair...and it was a blast!!  The kids were more into the rides this year than the animals(unlike last year) but it was fun to watch them on the rides and it brought back lots of memories from my childhood. 

When we arrived we ate first cause Paul and I were starving.  The kids however just wanted to go straight to the rides so we tried to get them to eat as best as possible but they are kids at a fair so needless to say they didn't eat much! 

After a few rides we walked around some of the animals.  We got to see some huge pigs, cows, chickens and rabbits.  I'm pretty sure I saw the biggest rabbit I've ever seen too.  He had to be at least 20lbs!  And note to self, next year plan ahead so we can buy a cow...they were cheap!  As much beef as we eat it would be so much cheaper that way!! 

The kids got there face painted...

Then it was off to my favorite part...Funnel Cake!!  The thought of getting one had my mouth watering.  It had been so long since I've had one.  It definitely lived up to the memories of the last one I had(which I'm sure was in my teens, early 20s at the latest). 

 

Overall we all had a great night!!  Unfortunately we are only able to go the one night do to Paul's work schedule this week.  But we'll survive because in 3 days it's off to the farm for some camping(the kids first time), 4-wheeling, and family time!!
