Sydney's Van Decoration

"Here's me, and here's Kylie!"

We Served Our Friends!

Swim Lessons

Sydney had her first swim lessons this week.  She had a great time, and she did a much better job than whenever she's at the pool with us.  It was good for her to have a teacher that isn't me because she just wants to cling to me.  We had fun watching, and Kylie will start in February.

Sydney's Jokes

Sydney was trying to cheer Kylie up yesterday after she fell down and was crying.  She has mastered the punchline but not necessarily the set up.

Sydney:  Daddy let me tell Kylie a joke.
Me: Ok, let's hear your joke
Sydney: There's no dog in a can!

Later

Me: Sydney tell Momma your joke
Sydney: She was a Kitty!

Sydney's Morning Thoughts

This is the highlight of my conversation with Sydney this morning on the way to school

Sydney: Daddy, we always wear our seatbelts in the car.
Me: That's right Sydney, so we can be safe.
Sydney: Do you know what we do if there's a fire?
Me: What do we do?
Sydney:(Pause)  Cause you're so smart.
Me: What?
Sydney: Look at the sunrise Daddy!  The sun is going up in the sky.
Me: Oh Cool, isn't it pretty?
Sydney: The sun goes up in the sky and it makes my monkey bar bigger
Me: The sun makes your monkey bar get bigger?  How does it do that?
Sydney:  The sun makes it go way up high. (pause) Daddy I know a magic trick!
Me: What do you do in the magic trick?
Sydney: I make my monkey bar go from big to small!
Me: Wow, how do you do that?
Sydney: I eat it of course

Now we are pulling into school

Sydney: Daddy where are you going to park?  Make sure it's a big spot!
Me: Ok, is this spot good?
Sydney: Yes, this is a big spot.  That little spot doesn't work, it's only for mice.

Sydney Goes to Preschool

Sydney has been very excited to go to school.  She's been talking about it for at least 2 months now.  She talks about how she's going to learn so much from her teachers and have fun with all the other kids.  She even started to say that she's learned things from her teacher before school has even started.  Last night Kylie's eye was itchy, so Sydney declared that she had Itchyeyeitis.  She learned about that from her teacher.  Also she told us that people will need to move to Jupiter because it is the biggest planet.  Also learned from her teacher.
