Second Grader


I keep thinking that it has to get easier sending your kids off to school, but for some reason it gets harder for me. I just want summer to never end. I love having my kids home!! Ali was really excited for school though and so I had to let her go!! Ali is my super independant child, who loves doing things on her own-this includes, play by herself, figure things out by herself, and is okay being by herself at recess. The thought of her by herself at the "peanut free" table everyday ,and then playing by herself everday is just to much for me to think about- but she doesn't care one bit!! I am proud of her for not caring- but amazed at how different we are!!

She loves having structure in her days and school really is a highlight for her. I asked her what she is most excited about and she is excited for everything!! She loves learning and i am so thankful for that. She got a really great teacher this year Miss Baker and I know she is going to love second grade.

Ali was so embarrassed that I brought my camera to school. She wouldn't let me get any pictures of her at school. She didn't want to be "that kid" on the first day!! I don't blame her, I just love having pictures to remember these milestones!! So cam let me get one of him in front of her school!! He is going to miss his buddy!!


After getting Ali from her first day I have to record for Ali to always remember-- She was so exhausted from a full day at school, and loosing her brand new lunch box, that she got in the car, covered her ears and said, "I don't want to talk about it, so don't ask." It wasn't until about 7:00 that night that i finally got to hear about her day.
I think that her summer naps were a hinderance on her first day- she was exhausted!!
