Dylan Dreyer opened up about the contrasting emotions she feels ahead of a change to her family’s routine
“I’m a little sad about that,” Dylan admitted, as Craig started the topic of conversation by revealing that a lot of people get September scaries. “But do you get excited for a new chapter?” Craig continued, to which Dylan replied: “I do.” She went on to tell her co-hosts that she gets very excited for the new school supplies. “I have brand new school supplies for the boys and I tell everyone not to touch them!” she added, divulging in one of her family’s traditions. Craig then admitted that he didn’t have any goals of his own, because “you set yourself up for failure,” but instead “finds new ways to improve,” all the time.
