Funny Joke.
Evan is constantly telling us “funny” knock knock jokes. Most are not that funny. But in the car ride home from Denise’s on Thursday he told one that brought a smile to my face…
Knock knock
Who is there?
Love
Love who?
Love you!!
So I asked him where he heard that one, figuring a TV show or something. He told me his brain taught him. I love you Evan and your brain.

Cora’s Makeup
At the end of the day yesterday as I was wrapping up work and Amy was picking up – Cora found a red marker and decided to color her lips with the red marker. Perhaps she needs a lesson on application (unless her goal was to look like the Joker from Batman).

Kindergarten Day 3 = Good (Again)
I was pretty nervous this morning as I anxiously awaited to hear how Evan’s day went. The map and his trusty friend Haley made a world of difference and he walked out today very happy and excited to go back tomorrow. A big thanks to the neighbor. She offered to go with him for the next two weeks if needed. My fingers are crossed for tomorrow.

Second Day of Kindergarten = Tears
Well after a good first day – the second day was a little scary for Evan. He came home and told me he cried in the morning because he could not find his classroom and it made him nervous. Once he found his class the teacher gave him a hug and had him be her helper.
Just when I thought it was going to be ok – he told me last night I needed to call the teacher and let her know he was not going to be there today. I decided to make Evan a map (he loves maps) of his school and the path he needed to take to get to his classroom. I also went down the street to a neighbor’s house who has a girl in 2nd grade and asked her to walk him to his class in the morning. Evan was very excited about both plans and I hope it makes for a better/easier start today.

First Day of Kindergarten = Good
I just picked up Evan from his first day and he had a good time. When asked what he did he told me “learned and played”. He could not tell me what he learned, but he told me he sat next to a new kid (he knows 4 kids in his class from pre-school), and that he had fun. Let’s hope it continues to be fun!

First Day of Kindergarten
After a long summer of waiting – Evan is spending his first minutes right now in Kindergarten as I type. I am not sure who was more nervous – me or Evan (actually I am sure it was me). I drove him over to the school, walked him into the school to his class, and then did a good job of not crying as I exited.
He seemed excited up until the moment I put him in front of the door in line with his other classmates. He did not cry or say anything to the effect he was nervous – but by not saying anything at all I knew he was probably a little overwhelmed by all the kids. I know he will do great and I look forward to hearing all the exciting stories he is sure to bring home.

First Lost Tooth
Evan lost his first tooth August 24th while at the babysitter’s house. He was quite excited to show everyone. After putting his tooth in his tooth fairy pillow, the tooth fairy brought him a gold dollar coin and a new tooth brush. Evan currently has 2 other loose teeth on the bottom row as well.

Visit to Alissa’s House
After spending the day at Penn State – we took another day to spend with my college roommate Alissa, our friend Emily, and our significant others/families. We all had a great time swimming in the pool, talking, and playing. Check out the photo section for more photos from the exciting stay at Alissa’s house.
