This evening on the way to violin Nathan told me, "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to be a newspaper boy and an astronaut." – very matter-of-factly. I had to make sure I'd heard him correctly. He then explained that he indeed would wake up early, go throw his papers and then promptly change…

Nathan's school spelling bee was this afternoon and it was such a fun experience. For the past few days we have been practicing words but have emphasized to him that the main objective is to have fun. Try your best, yes, but have fun always! I'm happy to report he did both. The spelling bee was…

Nathan came home today from school and informed us that he'd won a spelling bee in his class. And, he was even more excited that because of his win, he would be competing in the school spelling bee on Friday. I nearly jumped into the ceiling with excitement! You see, I am a fourth grade…

For the second day in a row and about the 10th time since school started just a little over a month ago, Nathan (Kindergartener) has gotten reprimanded for talking too much. I am sure my mom will read this and get a chuckle, as I too remember being known for my blabbermouth. But, I don't…

Recently I had the opportunity to receive and review the awesome Back-to-School pack by Lovable Labels. I have always wanted to try these to see if they a) really and truly work and b) are indeed useful for a busy family like mine. I'm happy to report they proved affirmative on both…

Last week Will started preschool and he's done nothing but talk about it since! It's been so crazy hectic around here – getting ready for baby, hosting family in town, etc. that I haven't had time to blog about the big leap to preschool as I'd hoped to. The morning started out like any other. …

Today Will and I headed out to Union Station for the one-day Disney's A Christmas Carol Train Tour event passing through. I must admit I felt a bit guilty taking Will without Nathan. It's the first outing ever that's been just Will & I. While I was excited to take him, I coudn't help but wonder what Nathan was doing during his…

Today marked the first official day of Kindergarten – uniforms and all. Of course there was no way I could resist the urge to take pictures – AGAIN! But, good thing I have a pretty photogenic and cooperative boy! Nathan began the day with mini-bagels slathered with strawberry cream cheese and OJ for breakfast. He was pretty…

Today was Nathan's first day hour of Kindergarten. Despite the early morning hour, he was rather easy to wake up, much to my surprise. We took the traditional pictures of him and of course, our ever-popular back-to-school interview. Kindergarten interview from Candy Tai on Vimeo. School was only for an hour this morning – mostly…

We celebrated 'Kindergarten Eve' here today as my Nathan gets ready to head off (officially) for Kindergarten tomorrow morning. It's sort of a 'fake' first day of Kinder if you ask me, since he's only going for an hour! But nonetheless, it's still THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN tomorrow! I know, I know, people say…
