First Day of 2nd Grade

Somehow, our sweet precious girl went off to 2nd grade!!! I'm pretty sure we were just sending her off to kindergarten yesterday. You seriously can't blink because the years just fly by. I don't even want to think about how hard next year will be when Dawson goes to school. Anyways, it is always a hard transition. Summer is so carefree and fun and it's a bit hard to be back to a school schedule which involves waking up early, drop offs, pick-ups, homework, etc.
Ashlyn's school always does an ice cream social a few days before school starts so students can see their classroom and meet their teacher. Her school is fairly new, and it has two stories. She was so excited to discover her classroom is now on the second story. I was a little sad to see she has already moved upstairs. She's growing up to quickly. She had fun exploring her new classroom. There are quite a few students in her class this year that were also in her class last year. Her teacher was very friendly and I think she is going to have another terrific year.
The night before school started, we went to the pizza place that we go to every year. I did it as a kid and it's a fun way to get ready for such a big day the next day. Ashlyn really enjoyed it and it's a tradition we all enjoy.
Her first day back was a great one. I missed her so much while she was gone, but she had such a good day. The entire school lined up outside and then it's inside for a day of learning. Each day we picked her up she said she had "great" days. so I think you could say this year is off to a great start. I can't wait to watch our baby grow and see all the things she learns in 2nd grade.
