Throughout The Years: Third Grade

[@carahamelie]

its so crazy you were in 3rd grade when sept 11th happend! when i watch your videos you seem so mature...like my age!! i was a junior or senior in highschool... so whenever you date yourself its quite funny. Not a bad thing, it just always suprises me!

[@otherjuicystar07]

haha. they were giving plane tickets away! we couldn't pass that up :) it was one of those spontaneous things that you talk about doing but never actually do. but we had wanted to go there for years!

[@ganuenen]

my school just had tv's installed in every room, and the principals were trying to keep the school calm and told all the teachers to not turn on the tv, but my teacher was super cool and said no way he would stop us from seeing us history and turned the tv right on. thanks mr. kleba!!

[@xokatey1407]

I am the same age as you. On Sep. 11th i woke up to my older sister saying "Katey get up, something happened in New York" so i got up and got dressed and watched the news ALL morning. I thought we couldnt go outside so i cried until i got to school. when i went to class my teacher Ms. Frances turned on the news and we watched it all day. The one thing i will never forget is when i looked at my teacher and her and was over her mouth and tears were rolling down her face. I understood everything.

[@mariannachavez]

thanks for uploading videos everyday! i know its just for a while, until school & work begins again, because i know that you have other things to do like normal people!, but thanks for taking your time =) i love your videos!

[@aurorahh4473]

I was in 4th grade. But since I'm in California, the times zones are different so I was going to school when it happened. When I got to school, I didn't see anyone on the play structure and a teacher ran out and brought me to the office. There were like 5 other kids there and the principal called our parents telling them to pick us up. I didn't quite comprehend what was happening either and why it was such a big deal at that time.

[@pnmjonas]

OMG the sound at the beginning is my alarm for school from my iphone! hahaha this video went by super fast, i think it was cuz this story was super interesting. you're great at telling stories! :))

[@Queenie1547]

I was in 3rd grade when 9/11 happened, too. I live in New York City, and we could see the smoke from the buildings in the borough of NYC we live in (Brooklyn) all the way from Manhattan. My mom came to pick me up from school during my lunch time, and told the staff that was in the lunchroom with us what happened. Seeing the live coverage from that day was like... wow... My dad is a yellow cab driver so we immediately called him to see if he was okay, and thank God he was.

[@swimmerangel7]

the fact that you can remember all these things from so long ago is amazing.

[@AlisRrL]

thats so cool he actually made a video for you! hahaha how nice of him hope teddy learns how to do the trick!

[@teamjacobftw1]

im from ireland and i remember september 11th vaguely, i was 9 years old and was in the supermarket when two ladies started bursting out in tears because they'd got a phone call and getting home and seeing it on sky news.

[@Healtheworldx]

i love these videos where you talk about your childhood!! i dont know why i just love them!! :D Glad your mum got her purse back!!

[@raysayhey1]

i was in first grade. i remember my class was in computers and the sound system went on nd my principle said the whole school should go to the auditorium. she told everyone what happened and we said some prayers for the people who got killed or was injured. i can never forget this moment for the rest of my life. plus my school is in brooklyn nd my uncle happened to work in Tower 2, but he called in sick. what a miracle!

[@otherjuicystar07]

what?! where?

[@nikkiforever2007]

i was in 2nd grade when sept. 11 happened, and the teacher found out from some other teachers, and everybody stopped teaching and watched the news instead. i didn't realize it was such a huge deal at first, since in the beginning the teacher said only 2 people died. but later on in the day i realized that was majorly big.

[@otherjuicystar07]

yes, i would love it if he could do that too!

[@gorgeousNpink]

Omg! i love how 15 minute videos only seem like 5 minutes when I watch your vids! luv ya Blair!

[@LipGlossNBlack]

i just entered middle school when 9/11 happened (i lived in brooklyn, which is in nyc). it was the first week of school, and when they let us out for recess, ashes were coming down from the sky. i thought it was snowing in september. but then the teachers made us go back inside. and for the rest of the day, all of my teachers talked about what was happening. also, i'm so glad that you guys encountered such a nice man!! and the indian food story was cute :)

[@thetaylorrpaige]

and another reason why kids left school early was because if they lived on a military base, some thought that it was going to close so everyone, including my family, rushed on base and i remember having to wait in this really long line and it was crazy and a bit over whelming especially for me being so young, i think i was in second grade, and clueless. :)

[@88beautymarked]

aww... and i was almost crying that your mom still wants to thank the man. how sweet!

[@doriosity]

I remember 9/11 and I heard it on the radio, and for the first time in my life, I realized that just because a building is tall it's not indestructible.

[@ech0grlx]

i can't believe you were in 3rd grade when 9/11 happened. that makes me feel so old! i don't think anyone will ever forget where they were the day 9/11 happened. i live in australia and it hit me super hard as well.

[@msmegz]

Wow, you were in 3rd grade when 9/11 happened.. that makes me feel so old. I was in high school and one of the other teachers came in and told our teacher and they turned on the TV so we were actually watching it.

[@Flanneryt]

i was in preschool when it happened but i remember it. my teachers were giving us our letter of the day when the other teacher came crying and said her aunt..something. and somehow everyone at the preschool was watching the news and the kids stayed at the school until 6 in the evening. I don't know, now that I look back on it, they did a really bad job.

[@lovenut46]

these videos are soooo fun to whatch expescially yours cuz its long and has very good details. its like reading a book. you can picture the scene in your head.

[@hoopjelly]

It's awesome to hear you talk about London! I'm from there and am currently doing my work experience just off Oxford street!! Do you remember the name of the indian restaurant? Xx

[@samanthaxox0]

I was in the third grade too when Sept. 11th happened. Same exact thing, everyone was getting picked up early from school, and when I got home I saw it on the news.

[@RacheltheSAHM]

My 1st grade teacher had those type of pets too! I love the necklace, I'd like to know where you got it! And I love the throughout the years videos!

[@JonasConcerts]

I love your key necklace! I have noticed you have been wearing it alot! Where did you get it?

[@BrunetteGiant]

This has been the best video you've ever made, just because you talked about September 11th. I live in Ontario, which is right by New York, and the 9/11 attacks were a very crucial time. Thank you for talking about it.

[@bean0329]

i went to london to! but we only went to the city where topshop is, the rest of the time we basically stayed in the same place, where it was all country, it was gorgeous, but kinda boring because we didn't really do anything except meet my mom's boyfriend's family for the first time..

[@purplesagecat]

yes it is possible my dog is learning to do it :) we did it by first putting the treat on her nose and holding her mouth shut while saying hold then when you let go they adamaticly open their mouth and it flips up they dont always catch it but most the time they do then you try just saying hold while the treat it on their nose without holding their mouth shut hope this helps

[@glamourful26]

I'm Canadian, and I was in my first year of University when 9/11 happened. I remember classes were cancelled, and everyone watched the updates in complete shock, on huge tv's they put up everywhere all over campus.

[@alliisonx3anne]

...i think its amazing how everyone can remember exactly what was happening when 9?11 happened. even when u were little. it was such a sad time.

[@otherjuicystar07]

well said. thank you!

[@otherjuicystar07]

REALLY?!?!

[@mildredcruz]

ohmygod i remember that day! i was in second grade and i was born in new york so it was like idk it was really sad,and i remeber everybodies parents came pick up my friends,and i was the only one left with my teacher a lone watchng the news,untl my mom came very sad and crying,and it was really sad,something ill never forget:(

[@ReillyAJ]

no no i love this videos, it feels like your having a real convo with the youtuber. great story.

[@karynnthedreamer]

Hmmm... I was in 2nd Class for 9/11, I'm not sure if it's the equivalent of 3rd grade or not? I was eight. But it wasn't as scary for us as for you because I live in Ireland but I do remember the teachers making a huge deal about it and my mam showing it to me on the news later that day.

[@chlobowzz14]

911 was pretty horrible for me,even though i was in england at the time my uncle lived in fland he'd travelled to ny. when my grandma picked me up from school she was crying we just went to my house she put on the news and she said your uncle was there in that building i was speachless i didn't know what to say and i remeber my grandma like trying to get a hold of him for ages and eventally she did! we were all so relived and it turned out he was soo lucky and he hadn't yet gone to the meeting,

[@RacheltheSAHM]

whenever i watch your new videos...I'm about the 300th veiwer ;) Oh, and I LOVE that necklace!

[@ellen52c]

Fun video, Blair! :) & I love your top! Where did you get it??

[@taraleeTM]

they turned the tv's on in our school on 9/11 i was in fourth grade, my friends and i just thought it was a really cool action movie. its crazy to look back on it now and see how big of an impact it has had on our country

[@goodbye2you]

I was in 3rd grade during 9/11 also; we're the same age. I don't remember any of my teacher's crying. but they explained to us what was going on and we all didn't really understand what happened or why it happened. anyway, a lot of kids at my school got picked up early, too. it was a really confusing day for a kid :/ let alone just one of the most tragic days our country faced in more recent years.

[@27lisalisa]

hey blair! yeah i was in 1st grade during 9/11 and they weren't allowed to tell us i guess so my mom, who was a workaholic at the time, picked me and my brother up and told us on the way home. we were really scared and trying to call my dad because he was in Washington DC for work that day. It was scary but he was ok..

[@Birkinbag09]

I love your vlogs they are so funnny. I remember 9/11 I was in year 5 at school and they didn't let us watch it either as we were only 10 but I watched it when I got home with my mum. Its so lucky about your mums purse but I have always found that most people in London are very nice and helpful thats why I love living in London !

[@kirschkuesschen]

I kind of am not getting the whole thing why you got the london tickets... You did buy them, right?

[@otherjuicystar07]

thank you! maybe he'll do the video?!

[@HardCorXKickBall]

i was in 3rd grade during 9/11 and im military and live right off of the military base and when my mom came to pick us up, we went onto the highway and it was completely empty because i live in VA like 15 miles from the Pentagon. So it was so scary. my mom and dad let me watch the news and just as an 8 year old a few days later when the country pulled together..i understood what it meant to be an american.

[@tulips545]

Hey Blair, I was wondering if in your next throughout the years videos you could include a picture of yourself from that grade?

[@sarahbaby102100]

yah thats possible my grandmas old dog knew how to do that i would tell you to message me and then i would tell you how to do it but you probably wouldnt so this is what you do:first you have to teach the dog how to stay and sit then after that then put and hold a treat on his nose and say stay untill he stays then if you let the treat go but keep it on his nose he should do it with a lot of prectice

[@nickjismybfinmydream]

i was in 1st grade when september 11th happened and they did turn on the news for us too. and i just remember sitting in our carpetted area watching the planes crash into the buildings and our teacher just saying she couldn't understand why people would do that.

[@Barb735]

how did you teach teddy the spin trick??? please do a video on that or of you have a link to a website or a video where you saw that??? please someone respond because i have a dog and he doesn't know anything and i'd really like to teach him something....

[@brittbrittaylor]

your family travels alot. You are verry lucky.

[@argentinachina22]

can you do a video on your beauty channel on how to put those nails on or how you do them?

[@Eloise13zzz]

i love these through out the years videos i cannot wait for the next one

[@svdXgrce]

is that tiffany key what was in your tiffany bag when you were shopping in ATL?

[@LoveJamieCorinne]

PLEASE let me know where your necklace is from! I have been wanting a key necklace forever! It would mean a lot :) Thanks Blair!

[@thaosayys]

My dog knows how to do the balance on the nose trick. It took me MONTHS to train her. But she finally learned how to do it :) AND she's 9 years old. Dogs are never too old to learn new tricks. She also knows how to sit, shake, roll, and speak.

[@crid200284]

I was a senior in Highschool when 9/11 Happened.. It was a major turning point in our country... Seems things have only went down hill since... God Bless Our Country and Our troops!

[@ailailailishXD]

Your necklace is so nice! Where did you get it?

[@pinkbowwow]

this is the best throughout the year video ever!

[@fremdekatze]

nice strories :) my family moved when i was in 3rd grade and we went to italy in summer

[@NEKOCHANNiE]

I'm the same age as you. I have a picture in my head of my mum sitting on the low table you have in front of the sofa (name?) watching the news. It was all very serious and she didn't answer me when I asked why the building was breaking. (I remember very clearly that I saw when one of the buildings was going down) There is a 6 hour difference so I was at home when It happened. No one cried though, because it obviously didn't affect Sweden the same way as America.

[@hawaiiangirl81]

i was in kindergarten when 9/11 happened so i had absolutley noooo idea what happened. anywayss....this is my favorite one of your throughtout the year vids! youre so fun to watch! haha

[@shmexymeagy23]

wheree did you get Bear? or how much was he? I have been wanting a yorkie for the longest time and am finally getting one for my birthday!! Im super excited i just dont know how much they are or how to get one? hahah (finding them would be a smart start)

[@HunnyBun88]

Where did you get your necklace? It's soo pretty!

[@linawakefield2377]

I´m from Germany, and I was in 5th grade when 9/11 happened, and our headteacher made an announcement through the speakers and we all had to be silent for a minute. I didn´t really understand it but I did understand that it was really serious. I remember being so scared. I thought there was going to be a war, another world war, where all the people I knew were going to be killed by bombs and so on. something else: I love your videos, you are such a good storyteller!

[@Jennnnnx34]

hey blair! i love your necklace! where is it from?

[@RHODES0BABY]

i was in second grade and i remembered that everyone started going home and then that day at daycare it was so quiet and we werent allowed to go outside... then i remember that 2years after that my uncle was being deployed to iraq

[@SellersDiva07]

where did you get the shirt from you are wearing, its cute?

[@ta9394]

I really like the throughout the years! Keep doing them! :D

[@xheartbellx]

That trick is TOTALLY possible! My friend's dog used to be able to do that! It took them a long time to get her to sit still with the treat on her nose, but she eventually got to the point where she would sit with it there until somebody snapped their fingers, and then she would flick it and eat it. It was SO cute. She was bigger than a yorkie though, and it might be difficult for a dog with such a small nose to balance a treat. Good luck though!

[@mjeongg]

i love how you tell stories :) so entertaining

[@vicki183]

i love your necklace where did you get it?

[@olivia6101]

i saw you and elle have that cute necklace! wheres it from ? :)

[@sugarbomb187]

i had just turn 7 years old on a few days before sept 11 2009, i live in canada but we still knew what happened pretty soon. it was my first year in my new school. When my mom came to pick me up at the end of the day She looked very upset and told us (me and my younger sister) that there were people who had very horrible ideas and then she told me what happened. It was a week after my birthday and I was still super happy but it totally bursted my bubble. i'll always remember that day.

[@maxpower978]

Your story unbored me. If "unbored" is a word? Whatever, but it was really interesting to hear about it! It made me smile! 'Can we go to the tube now?' :) Ahaha

[@gktw99]

To train Teddy to do that trick is easy! You take a SMALL peice of treat. Hold his nose and mouth in one hand and put the treat on his nose with the other. Say stay. Then when you want him to flick it up and eat it just say ok or go. It takes a lot of practice and if you have other dogs who can do it I think he should see them doiing it too! Hope I helped you Blair

[@Reynacita]

watching this video brings back so many memories of that day that i kinda had forgot.

[@xbrittneyx1217]

i love the shirt your wearing, where did you buy it ?? =]

[@RebeccaMorley]

Blair, we watch your videos because we like them, so we really don't care if they are long, you don't feel you have to keep them short all the time!!!!!

[@sparkybaby2005]

i love these throughout the years videos! on 9-11 i was in kindergarden and all i really remember was getting picked up super duper early (i live in nj and everybody got picked up early.) during my nap and thinking i was so cool for being able to leave bc i was one of the first ones. and we also had a couples days off i think.

[@poipleberry]

wow blair! this was great!! and i was in 3rd grade when 9/11 happened too but our school didn't want the kids worrying so we didnt know anything about it. they left it to our parents to tell us insted. and that story about the indian restaurant is so adorable. it's ok that you didn't eat with her cause i think the periodic waving is so much more sedimental.

[@kam2490]

I was in 6th grade during september 11. My teachers didn't tell me but my friends teachers did so I heard from them. My parents were across the country at the time on a business trip and couldnt get home till almost a week later because all flights were cancelled.

[@carolinabelle22]

I was in 8th grade when sept 11th happend and i was goin to music class. a boy from my class told my teacher to turn on the tv cuz they were watching the news in the class before. We only watched it for about 15 or 20 min then the principle came on the intercom and told us that we were having an early out day. I was so happy but when i got home my mom told me how serious the situation was and i stayed up all night watching news about it with her. :(

[@Pokadotz3]

okay i know you said this in one of ur videos but i find whice onee but were and what brand is that key necklace?? i love it so much its so pretty can anyone tell mee??

[@TheNicoleRenee]

I was in second grade during 9/11 and I remember all the teachers crying but I don't remember them telling us why. I think they wanted our parents to tell us. So when I got home, I remember sitting on the couch with my mom and she told me what happened. Then there was some sort of sonic boom thing that happened while she was telling me because the ground shook a little. I don't remember being really scared, I think I just accepted it.

[@MDproductionSS]

I want more of that Throughout The Years thingy! It's just so interesting to listen to..

[@thewhitebengaltiger]

once i was in greece and i realised i left my bag down somewhere and i ran back to the promenade and i couldnt find it, so i asked a greek man if he had seen it, as i was really desperate and he opened his backpack and got it out for me! i was so shocked and so happy and i know what it feels like to lose something really important! by the way, im british so i call "purses" bags :)

[@JasmineRenees]

In 2001 i was in 3rd grade too...i think..or 4th. I'm a senior in high school now but anyways at my school the teacher turned on the news. I had no clue what was going on..and can't really remember much

[@101foreveryoung]

where did you get your key necklus everybody has that key

[@MerielAx]

Your vlogs are my favourite videos on youtube....i love them.....especially the random ones!!

[@MissEllolisoss]

Love your videos!

[@JasmineBeautyX]

Blair could you please, pretty please, tell me where you got your necklace from? :) x

[@Mognki]

i was also in 3rd grade when that happened! I remember coming home from gymnastics seing my mom crying in front of the tv, my parents told me everything and sat me down in front of the news... seriosly.. i didn't understand what the big deal was! I recently look at a video from the crash at youtube and i just couldn't stop crying, i just can't belive it!

[@catalina_corvette]

The story about your mom losing her purse was surprisingly interesting! I was captivated by it! haha.

[@sabbyful]

For what it's worth, I taught my puppy how to do it. She has a big nose though. First you MUST teach impulse control. Teach him to not try to grab the treat right away. I did this by putting a treat on the floor and used the "leave it" comand. When she ignored it, she got it. After she had that down, I would hold her nose, tell her to leave it, and make her sit like that for a minute so she'd learn how to balance it and wait. Now she's a pro. Your dog has a little nose though.

[@PinkxOranges]

thats so cool you came to london! come back!!

[@awshumxD]

i was also in third grade when 9/11 happened. and my school completely sucked, like i didn't find out about 9/11 til i got home from school at like 4 o'clock...like 7 hours after it happened.
