Category: Tyra

Tyra went to day camp with the girl scouts at Camp Williams this week. They started out on Tuesday and had a full day of activities, and then another full day Wednesday, and then other busy day today. She hasn’t had her nap any of these days because she was at camp. And I think the lack of naps has taken it’s toll:

She was so worn out this afternoon, that she couldn’t even eat her snacks, she sat down and fell sleep before she could do anything else. Then after a little bit she woke up she enough to relocate, and then she zonked out again.

How will she survive first grade? She’ll be at school all day every day, and she was this worn out after only 3 days of no naps. 😉

Tyra was promoted from Kindergarten to the first grade today.

She had to be a goofball as she passed us during the procession. I think she was just posing for the camera, or maybe her excitement needed to just jump out!

During the program Tyra’s class sang this cute little song to the tune of the “Adam’s Family” theme song:

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

We learned our ABC’s

And counting 1, 2, 3’s

And now we know all these,

The kindergarten class.

And we learned how to share

And we learned how to care,

Just ask us if you dare,

The kindergarten class.

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

It seems we’ve just begun,

And now we’re almost done,

This year’s been so much fun!

The kindergarten class.

But we must say so long,

With this our little song,

But we’ll be back fore long,

The kindergarten class.

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh-duh-duh, click, click

Here’s her class singing their song as Mrs Spaulding leads them.

And here she is, with her kindergarten teacher, Mrs Spaulding and Miss Joy, the teacher’s aid. 🙂

She is so excited and she totally thought that when the promotion was over she would get to go to first grade. She is totally confused to find out she won’t get to start first grade until next August. 🙂

We’ve had visits from Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny for years, but now we’ll have our first visit from the Tooth Fairy as well! Tyra lost her first tooth! And the tooth next to it is also wiggly so it will be falling out soon, too.

Ethan still hasn’t lost any teeth and he is quite upset that Tyra lost one before he did. I’ve had to tell him that his teeth WILL fall out, when they are ready to.

My brown eyed girl turned 6 this week. She has been looking forward to her birthday since Ethan’s birthday in January. She has been inviting EVERYONE to her birthday party since Ethan’s birthday, too. She could hardly wait for her birthday, and now she is 6!

Tyra joined our family 5 May 2004. She just couldn’t wait one more day, which resulted in her being born on her cousin Lars’ 1st birthday. But I was went into labor spontaneously and about 4 hours later I was holding my Tyra. (You can read the whole birth story here, if you so desire.)

She has always been a child that is just full of smiles.

She has also always been a girly girl. Look at those chubby cheeks!

She LOVES attention.

She is so beautiful.

She loves school and her teachers. Mrs Spaulding:

And Miss Joy:

I got to come down to the school to bring a birthday treat for Tyra to pass out to her friends. She picked Girl Scout Samoas as her treat to share. 🙂

And now my little girl is SIX! I can hardly believe it. First thing this morning she came into my room and slapped my bed saying “MOM! I’m SIX!” What a wake up call. 😛

This is a picture of Tyra when Kyle got home LATE at night on her birthday. See how excited she is that’s it’s her birthday (even if by this point her birthday was practically over)?
