Some reasons I love Lane

Lane has been really excited about starting Kindergarten and talking so much about his experiences.  It is a change from when he used to answer the question of what he liked best with "everything."  So some of his cute sayings are coming out lately that I didn't even know he had.

One of the girls in his class is also in Lauren's Jazz class, so when I pointed her out to him this week he said this: Oh she is a kissy girl.  I call girls kissy girls when they try to kiss me, and she chases me and tries to kiss me and one day she GOT me.  Then he even retold that story to Matt when I asked him to recount the story of his first kiss!  I love the new communication.

Today I did something nice for him, so he got real close with his big dimpled smile and said "Pay the Troll."  Then he said it again because I clearly didn't know what he was talking about.  Well, I did something for them earlier this week and told them to pay the toll by giving me a kiss.  I've been making them give me kisses this way and I've been getting a lot more of them, I just never thought I would get called the "Troll."  Anyway, he started making himself the troll tonight before anyone could enter a room.  He even tried to extract a kiss from Lauren, but she told him no.

We spent our Labor Day building a photography studio...

...well, at least a small one made out of cardboard.  The entire second grade will be displaying a whole community and Lauren picked out a photography studio.  Big surprise, huh? She wanted to call it Rockstar Photos, and REALLY wanted to make the roof have zebra print.  I thought, what the heck, it is a rockstar theme anyway.  So her building is so super cute with a zebra print roof, lots of windows, gold walls, a rockstar back drop, an umbrella light, and authentic brick walls :).
