Tyse's Big Week!



Tyse had a HUGE week last week! He has been waiting forever for 2 big events and they happened within 2 days of eachother!

As you can (kinda) see in the picture, he lost his first tooth! A week prior he bit into a corndog a little too enthusiastically and loosened it quite a bit. He played with it for an entire week, and then he decided he'd had enough, so he just pulled it out by himself. Good thing too- neither Kent nor I are squeamish about many things, but apparently loose teeth creep us both out! The tooth fairy made his debut to a raving review.
His second big event was that he started KINDERGARTEN! YAHOO for all. He has been waiting not so patiently for over a year now, so he is finally able to get going. He is exactly a week into it and still loves it. I am learning more about 5 year old boys. Apparently they can absolutely love something and not remember a thing about it. Every day I ask him how school was and what he did. The answer is always the same... "Great! I don't remember." Now how can a child that can remember even the tiniest detail about something I make a mistake about not remember what he has done for the preceeding 3 hours of which he has apparently loved? I felt better when the neighbor boy came over and told me the EXACT word for word answer. Now if he could just get a cell phone and a diet coke with his happy meal the world may become just.

Don't worry, Avery gave me the same answer almost every day of kindergarten. We are still waiting (mostly patiently) for the loss of a tooth around here. I won't tell Avery Tyse lost his. It will just make her jealous.

Awwww there you are! Tyse is so cute and he was more than ready for Kindergarten! What did the Tooth Fairy do?

Wow! I can't believe he is in Kindergarten! My boys still talk about him and his fascination with driving over bumps. Please email me your current address so I can send you a christmas card. Tyler recently returned from his mission and is in Provo going to BYU- Derek is at WestPoint, and Jackson is a JR. Take care,
