Check out this collection of books that are perfect for those new kindergarteners.

'KINDergarten: Where Kindness Matters Every Day' by Vera Ahiyya It's the first day of kindergarten, and Leo isn't ready. Leo is a quiet kid and would prefer to stay home.

Taylor Swift explains how 'Cupid' Andy Reid vouched for Travis Kelce
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has, on occasion, taken credit for helping set up Travis Kelce in his relationship with Taylor Swift. Does Reid's story of being a legendary wingman carry much weight? "Whatever Andy Reid says, we're gonna stand by," Swift said on the "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. "He said it, that's what happened." "'Cupid,' 'Big Red.' It's all the same," Kelce added. Reid's role as a wingman came after Kelce's plea to Swift on the "New Heights" podcast, which Swift referred to as "the shooting your shot heard 'round the world." After that, Swift outlined she heard from "a lot of people" who liked Kelce enough to vouch for him. That included Reid, who had a long-term friendship with Swift's family, via her father Scott. "There were a lot of kind of people whispering in my ear about you," Swift said to Kelce on the podcast. "And like, actually, that's not normal. There are people willing to just go to bat for you, and be like, 'You don't understand. This guy is incredible.'" Ultimately, Reid's endorsement mattered, and Swift and Kelce eventually went on a date. They remain together nearly two years after they were first romantically linked. As such, both believe the three-time Super Bowl winner deserves a thank you for helping them get together. "Thank you Andy, for everything," Swift said.

Taylor Swift explains joining New Heights: 'This podcast got me a boyfriend'
Taylor Swift made her first appearance on the "New Heights" podcast Wednesday and explained why she decided to join the show for the first time. It wasn't just about promoting her upcoming album, "Life of a Showgirl." It was also a debt of gratitude for a podcast the pop star said "has done a lot for me." "I owe a lot to this podcast," Swift said. This podcast got me a boyfriend, ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app two years ago." Swift went on to describe the bevy of emotions she felt upon first hearing the plea of Travis Kelce, her current boyfriend, to meet her after missing a chance to meet up at her "Eras Tour" show. "It was such a wild romantic gesture to be just like, 'I wanna date you,' like on [the podcast]," Swift said. "Like at first, when I looked at it, I was just like, 'This dude didn't get a meet and greet. He's making it everyone's problem.' That's what I thought at first." Swift also explained she initially couldn't believe the audacity Kelce had to complain about being unable to meet her when he hadn't tried to schedule a meeting. She detailed he didn't try to contact her tour team ahead of the show and instead thought he and Patrick Mahomes, with whom he attended the show, could use their connections at Arrowhead Stadium to get to meet her. "He came with Pat and he thought because he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about getting down to my dressing room," Swift said. "That's how it worked in 1973, but he really was just like, 'I know a guy. I can figure this out.'" As Swift thought more about the gesture, she realized it was something about which she had always dreamed. "I was like, if this guy isn't crazy – which is a big if – this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to have happen to me since I was a teenager," she explained. TAYLOR AND TRAVIS: How Swift, Kelce met – Friendship bracelets and 'Cupid' That led Swift to pursue Kelce, and the two have remained romantically linked ever since, and the two are happy together. "I'm just circling back to thank 'New Heights' for this," Swift said. "Look at this." "I'm the luckiest man in the world," Kelce replied, giving her a peck on the hand.
