Kindergarten crushes


My Tyler is loving Kindergarten! Two days ago after school I was asking him about how his day went and he tells me "Good, and mom, today I got a crush on a girl and she got a crush on me and I made a new friend." Really? A crush? Wondering if he knew what this word meant, I proceed to ask him. "So Tyler, what does "crush" mean?" Should I really have been surprised that he actually knew what this word meant? No, he does have an older brother in 4th grade who has been talking about crushes for a couple years now. This was Tuesday, the day after the most awesome Boise State Broncos beat the Virginia Tech Hokies in a very very fantastic football game if I do say so myself (Kellen Moore kicks some serious QB butt!!). And the boys always like to talk golf and football to Coach (grandpa Don). So Ty was on the phone with him telling him later that night about his day and also proceeds to tell him about the crushes and new friend. Jason in the meantime meanders on into the bedroom where I'm lying down and asks if he just heard Tyler right? "Did he just say that he got a crush today?" "And a new friend." I replied. We giggle a little and I do a little forehead slap, cause seriously KINDERGARTEN!!! Anyway, the next morning we get to school, Cody goes to the back of the school to walk (that's where the BIG kids get to walk) and I'm walking with Ty. It is just too dang cute, every single person he knows, or suspects he knows, he'll say their name or tap them on the arm and say "Hey", sometimes with a little wave sometimes not. He'll look at me and say "I know him/her." I just love it. Anyway, after a couple laps we come up to this girl and he tells me her name is Celeste and she's the one he got a crush on and she gets this shy little smile on her face and nods. And they continue the rest of the laps holding hands until the bell rings. And I must say, she was adorable, Ty has good taste! :)

Tonight is open house at the school. We get to go in and see what they've been doing in class so far. I am just thrilled with the teachers my boys got this year! Cody has the most fantastic 4th grade teacher anyone could ask for. She had two boys of her own and just really relates to her students like no other!

You'd think with having both the boys in school that I would get myself on more of a schedule for workouts..... :) I keep telling myself.....tomorrow or next week......well today was yesterdays tomorrow, so I should get to work! .......sigh........ off I go........maybe :)
My camera was being very obstinate on the first day of school, so the picture of Ty was the only one I was able to take on that camera. I got more with Cody, but they are on Jason's camera, so I will post more once I get them on the computer.
