My baby's growing up!

(Dallin hides from the camera so this is the best recent picture I have)

I turned in the final paperwork today for Dallin's kindergarten registration. Can you believe it? I have a kid old enough for kindergarten. Then again I am turning 30 this year so I guess it's not that odd to have a kid that old. But where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday they layed my precious little baby with a skin tag on his nose and tumor on his gums in my arms. (that makes me laugh for some reason) Dallin has always been an amazing kid. Obedient, caring, considerate and just well behaved. I couldn't have designed a better 1st kid. He is such a good example to his younger siblings and even his parents. And he is a CRACK UP!!!! Just one conversation with him and you're rolling on the ground. At school on Tuesday they had some firemen visit. When I picked him up and asked how his day was he said

"Mommy, did you know that I know the firemen's phone number?"

Me: "Oh yeah? What is it?"

Dallin: "911"

Since I could picture him calling it I explained that it was only for emergencies.

Dallin:" Yeah, but I can only call it if grandma falls down and breaks her leg"

(note: Dallin doesn't call either grandma "grandma" which I found extra funny about his comment)



Dallin has this passion and excitement for life that is totally admirable. The littlest things make him so happy and he is so gracious and polite.

I am so greatful to have him in our family and to be entertained daily by him. I'm so excited for him to start kindergarten. He has been asking to go since he was barely 3 and the time is soon approaching. He loves learning and talks non-stop about everything he's learning. I just love that kid!
