School and hair cuts

It’s that time again, the happiest time of year…BACK TO SCHOOL! Well, at least back to preschool 3 days a week. Dakota has been overjoyed to be back at her school. We are only one week in and she is already telling me her new best friend is Keegan, no not a little girl, a little boy. And so it begins! I am hoping that Keegan likes her as much as she likes him because it would really suck for her to think she’s made a new best friend and that not be the case. I did see the two of them playing on Friday when I picked her up to school and they were having a great time. Graeme and I have been discussing having her tested next year to enter Kindergarten early instead of waiting another year until she is officially 5. I get a lot of feedback on this one and almost everyone thinks it’s a great idea. I will be talking to her teachers this year about it to get their opinions too. As I’m tying this she is working in her alphabet book, it’s one of her favorite activities, she calls it “learning her alphabet” book. Now if only her little brother was as smart! That really isn’t fair, he is a very smart little toddler, just not in the language department. I have a feeling he is always going to be the kid who isn’t into reading or the arts but way more interested in how things work. It’s a good thing his dad is the same way so he will be able to relate to him more than I can in that area. This is a little off subject but it just happened yesterday and is a funny share. I took Dalton to get his hair cut yesterday and the hairdresser added some gel and spiked his hair before we left. When we picked Dakota up from school she leaned over and said “MOM! Dalton’s hair!” I told her we got it cut and asked her if she thought he was cute. She told me NO! Can you believe her? She went on to explain that it was sticking up and she likes it down. She told me all about how she did not like his hair for five minutes, then revisited the subject shortly after getting home. She once again told me that it wasn’t cute after her dad got home from work. This morning when I got Dalton up she exclaimed “look Mom Dalton’s hair is cute again cause it’s not up like this” (picture 3 year old holding her hair up from the top of her head). Well I think his hair is cute when it’s all stuck up.

The CUTE new haircut, unless you agree with Dakota that is
