2010-2011 first Day of School

I waited a bit to post this because I wanted to also post the pictures of Caelyn as well. So why did I have to wait you ask, well because Caelyn's birthday isn't until September 3, she could not start preschool until after she turned 2. For the past three weeks she would be so excited to take Chloe to school and she wanted to stay at school herself. I felt so bad that she couldn't stay. Well today was finally the day. Thankfully Dave was off cause I figured I would be a crying mess, but I was not. We all went into Caelyn's room with her and dropped her off. Chloe helped Caelyn find her nam and put it on the attendance board, then I helped her hang her backpack up. Daddy got her at the table to play with a try activity then she started to catch on. Chloe gave her a kiss, then I did, but when Daddy when to give her his kiss, she didn't want him to leave. She was a big girl though and didn't cry, she just didn't want him to leave (so much for wanting mommy). So we had to change the game plan a bit and let Dave leave first while the teacher tried to distract her. But as fair as we could tell she didn't cry.

Chloe on the other had was a pro on her first day of school (August 17). She knew where her name was and what locker was her to put her stuff in. She litterally kissed Caelyn and I while pushing us out the door. She was so excited to start the new school year and make new friends.

Caelyn Jean: Second year in pictures

Today is our Caelyn Jean's second birthday. Little did I know back in Dec of 2007 our life would finally become complete a short 9 months later. I am so blessed that she is apart of our family and she truely completes everyone in our little family. This second year was so much fun and we can't wait to see what this new year will bring us.

Pictures of Chloe

Two Year Pictures

My good friend from college's sister took pictures of Caelyn for her second birthday. She did a fabulous job I think. Caelyn is deffiently a completely different person then Chloe is when it comes to the camera. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get Caelyn to look at the camera. But I stilll love all the great photos Tasha got.

Meeeeeenie Mouse

So here in 4 days Caelyn Jean will be 2 years old. That means there are alot of new and exciting things to happen this next year, the most exciting being on September 7th she will start preschool!

This past weekend we help her family party because we will be at the lake this coming weekend to celebrate, Grandma (my mom), daddy, and Caelyn's birthday. The theme of her party was Minnie Mouse. Over the summer she really fell in love with Minnie. She sits and watched her in awe when she is on the Playhouse Disney show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So to me it was a given that her second birthday should be Minnie Mouse.

While Caelyn would tell you it was her birthday party and be very excited about it, the minute the party started, she shut down. She basically just was "there" and really didn't know what to think about the entire thing. One guest in particulas she kept watching, like she was waiting for them to do something. She just was not too sure of this person.

She wouldn't even blow out her candles, which I know she can do. I was actually expecting her to sing herself happy birthday as she had been doing it all week. But the silly girl, didn't say a word the entire time (and for those who know her, know that is not true. She is a talker).

She did not have any problems with the after part clean up though.
