It's OUT!

After what seemed like forever, Dillan FINALLY lost his first tooth. Daddy had to persuade him just enough to let him tie a string around it and yank it out. I think he was nervous about what to expect. Next time he should handle it better.
He was so excited to put the tooth in his little pillow and was visited by the tooth fairy who was maybe a little too generous (hey you only get one first tooth right?)

Enjoy your spoils, Toothless!

KC

It's so nice to know that even though your child pushes your buttons daily and doesn't always do what they are told, he is thankfully NOT that way at school. Mrs Hall says Dillan is the sweetest boy and always wants to do everything right.

He was selected to be the KC Award (Kindness and Compassion) winner from his class for the month of October. This means he took on Rachel's Challenge to do something kind for a peer, with the hope that they would do something nice for another, thus forming a chain of good deeds.
He received another dog tag to put on his chain and got to put his hand print on a huge banner that hangs in the MPR.

Great Job Dillan! We are so proud of you!

Falling

It's such a fun time of year, and we've tried to keep with tradition in visiting a pumpkin patch. This time we went out to Bates Nut Farm, since some of us had not ever been. Chris and Dillan went last year on a Kindergarten field trip.

We did the straw maze, rode on the tractor train ride and each picked our own pumpkin to bring home. Even though it was a warm day, the farm had a lot of large trees and was nice and clean.
We enjoyed our day!

Dance Class

Leah's dance class had their final class, the end of the 6-week session. She doesn't know it yet, but the next session was completely FULL when I went to sign up again, so we're not sure WHAT is going to happen next. Every morning she asks if she has dance class that day. No Joke. She LOVED it! Such a difference from dragging Dillan to soccer. (To be fair, Dillan is since past those days, he now willingly gets himself ready for soccer and loves to play).
She had said that she wanted to play soccer when she got older, now she doesn't. She was in tears the other day when I told her she was growing up and getting bigger. She thought that meant she couldn't be in the little girls' dance class anymore. She said she doesn't want to get bigger, because she wants to stay in dance class with the little girls!

She's HOOKED!
