Lyla's 1st Grade Concert

We had Lyla's 1st Grade Concert tonight!  She's been practicing for months and was so excited about it!  The music teacher did it as a rainbow and each 1st grade class had to wear a different color.  Lyla's class was dark blue.

Heard Around the House #40

Me beginning at 6:25... Lyla when you are done eating you need to go get ready.

6:30 - Lyla you need to go brush your teeth and get dressed....

6:40 - Lyla, honey, we REALLY need to leave soon, you need to hurry up.

She finally goes into the bathroom.... she does not start brushing her teeth, instead she is sitting on the toilet....

Lyla - please hurry!

6:55 - Lyla walks into the living room, you need to come in the bathroom, I need to show you something.  (Our goal is to leave the house at 7:00.  At this point she was still in her pajamas...)

I walk into the bathroom and see this:

She was so proud of herself and said "I've been trying to learn to do that with the cups for a long time!"

Me:  I'm really proud of you, that's awesome - PLEASE BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!  WE NEED TO GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

School is officially in full swing and we officially never have our acts together in the morning.  I have no clue why it is so difficult for us to get out the door in the mornings! 

Officially a First Grader!

Yesterday was Lyla's first day of first grade!  She was pretty nervous about it because she didn't know her teacher or anyone in her class.  But she put on a brave face (and a cute dress) and faced the day head on!

She ended up knowing one girl in her class from soccer and she said her new teacher was funny. 

She also lost her brand new headband....

After school Gary picked her up off the bus and took her for ice cream.

And after dinner, mommy got to do her homework....
