No More Binky

I think I'm finally ready. It's time to put this to an end. I am realizing that Justin having a binky doesn't keep him a baby. So wish me good luck. We got rid of them (the 5 I could find) this afternoon. Hopefully Justin doesn't have a secret stash somewhere. Tonight will be the first night of his life that he'll go to sleep without a binky.

Why do kids have to grow up?

Kindergarten

Savannah painted a pumpkin like herself for the "Pumpkin Walk"

She rode her BYU bike to school on the first day.

One proud dad!

Savannah started school this year. She is my big kindergartner! I thought she might be scared or nervous to leave me and the little world of security I've carefully built for her over the last five years but NO. She was so excited and couldn't wait for her first day. Now we're 2 months into school and she is still just as excited. Savannah's teacher is taking a class through the school district and the class requires her to work one-on-one with a student... and she picked Savannah! At first I was scared she picked Savannah because she was academically behind all the other children, and then I got prideful thinking she picked Savannah because she is so cute and sweet and longed to spend more time with her. In the end I found out she picked Savannah because she thought Savannah didn't car pool. Oh well! We are grateful for the extra attention Savannah is getting in learning how to read and write. It has been really interesting to see how eager Savannah's mind is about learning.
