The Difference Between Boys and Girls

I have always heard from people with both boys and girls that they are so different.  I've always wondered if it is because of us (that's the way we make them) or if it really is just the way they are.  Now that I have both a boy and a girl I am realizing that they are so different and it is NOT the way we make them.  They really just come differently.  If you don't believe me look at this example.  The other day Makayla was pushing her baby in the stroller.  She dressed the baby all up in a cute little dress and a matching headband in her hair.  She placed her gently in the stroller with a blanket covering the baby so she wouldn't be disturbed.  Then she proceeded to stroll the baby throughout the house trying to get her to sleep.  When she was done with that she left and went on to something else.  Before I know it Kyle is at the stroller.  He took the baby out of the stroller, threw it on the floor, and then started pushing the stroller as fast as he could around the house laughing and screaming.  Now you tell me... is there a difference between boys and girls???  

She's In Kindergarten!!!

It all started with a fun trip to Reno for school clothes.  This is a tradition that Makayla and I have every year.  Just the two of us drive to Reno for the day and shop till we drop.  We both have so much fun.  Then that night she put on a fashion show to show daddy and Kyle all her new clothes.

Then yesterday was the day.  It had finally arrived.  The day that Makayla has been waiting for all year long... the first day of Kindergarten.  She was so excited.  We all woke up extra early since Makayla starts school at 7:30am.  Makayla picked out her own outfit and how she wanted me to do her hair.  She looked beautiful.

Then it was off to school.  We walked in and went straight to the playground to wait for the bell to ring.  Makayla enjoyed the slide very much.

When the bell rang we all lined up and headed to the classroom.  Originally Makayla wanted us to leave as soon as we got to the classroom but when it all came down to it she was a little nervous and wanted us to stay longer.  There wasn't one familiar face in her classroom so she was a little scared.  

As you can see by the face she was really nervous.  Finally I asked the little girl next to her what her name was.  She said Kaylee.  Makayla was so excited because she had another friend named that.  They started talking a little bit.

Next they all went to the carpet for singing time.  This was when Makayla started to get a little more comfortable.  She sat by her new friend Kaylee and they all sang the ABC's with their teacher Mrs. Moyle.  Next they sang Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.  This was when we could really tell that Makayla was comfortable.  She started "rocking out" and she says to the song.  Ben and I went over to her and asked if it was okay if we left and she said yes.  We gave her a kiss and then were off.  

  

I am so proud of my little girl.  I can't believe that she is in Kindergarten.  She is the sweetest most precious little girl in the whole world and I thank Heavenly Father every day for allowing me to be her mom.  I love her with all my heart.  I can't wait to see what her future holds.  I know that she will do amazing things.  

Well after school was over Ben and I went to pick her up.  We got there a little early so we just waited.  All of sudden all these sweet little kids in backpacks came out the door and across the lawn.  It was so adorable.  Then we spotted our little girl.  She was the cutest one of all and she was holding hands with Kaylee as they came out.  I have to admit I started tearing up it was so cute.  She was so happy and so excited to tell us all about her day.  She is the most amazing little girl.  I can't believe that she is in Kindergarten!!!
