1st Grade, pom poms, and teeth

Connor started first grade last Wednesday, August, 24, 2011. He was so excited to see who was in his class. His teacher is Mrs. Wise and she seems really nice. His friend Gavin is in his class so he is set. I told him he needs to try and make other friends too though. Kadence had her Kindergarten testing the same day and was excited to find out her teacher is Mrs. Penry. She has been saying since Kindergarten round up that she wanted her for a teacher so she was beyond excited. She got a letter in the mail that said she is going to be a pirate on the first day of school and all she can talk about is how she needs a pirate costume.


On Thursday I took Landon, Kadence, and Kinlee to the preschool with me to get my room ready for the upcoming school year. Kadence and Landon started playing with the little craft pom poms and asked if they could take a couple home. I said sure and we headed home. They were in the very back row of the car and told me they were sticking the pom poms up their noses and I told them to knock it off. The next day Kadence's nose was running and she sounded really congested. Rory looked up her nose and said, "she has something green up her nose." After that she confessed that her and Landon stuck the pom poms up their noses and they got stuck. I called Candee to let her know and we decided we better take the kids into the doctor. He pulled them out with no problems but I told Kadence she better not ever do that again!



Today Connor lost his first tooth! He has been impatiently waiting for this day for quite some time. It seems like everyone around him had lost at least one tooth and he was starting to feel left out. It started getting loose on Thursday and he worked on that thing until it bled. He finally convinced Rory to get some dental floss and pull it out. That kid didn't even flinch when Rory yanked that tooth out. He went over to Uncle Bob's tonight and got stung by a bee 3 times, so I told him the tooth fairy will probably leave him a little extra money for being so brave.


Kinlee still isn't walking, but she is as busy as ever. She climbs in and on everything and can climb up the stairs like a pro. Even though she's not walking, life at the Bradley house never slows down!!
