Welcome to Second Grade!

Well, today was the first day of second grade for my little (big) Jackson! I can't believe that it is already time for him to advance to yet another grade level! I vividly remember my first day of second grade. I met my best friend, Sheliah Poole, that I kept all the way through middle school and still keep up with now! We bonded over our identical Kitten Trapper Keepers! It's the little things, right?

Anyhow, Jackson was pretty excited this morning even though he was kind of quiet. I asked him if he was excited & he said he was. I think he likes the idea of growing up. What is up with that?! :) He gave me absolutely no problems getting up & out the door this morning & i didn't even have to remind him to brush his teeth. I think he was just ready!

We had plenty of time to take some pictures too, of course. (But then again, I did set the alarm for a few minutes early to ensure that I did! )




At first, he wanted to ride the bus this morning. But I nixed that idea. No, sir- the first day of school belongs to ME! I get to walk my boy in & make sure he is settled. But then, I thought, maybe he was too grown for that, so I offered to just drop him in the carpool line. But he said he wanted to be walked in. (Yay!) So, that is exactly what I did!

I walked him to his door & even chatted with his teacher, Mrs. Daves, for a few minutes. I really like her. She is a hugger. She gave him a big hug when he walked in this morning & when she saw I had brought extra class supplies from her wish list- she even hugged me! :)

She was thrilled when I asked her to take a picture with Jackson because "she likes it when parents keep up with scrapbooks and stuff!" I am going to like this lady! (And it helped that she said she loved Jackson's freckles! See, we are on the same page already!)

Doesn't she just look like a fun teacher who wants to be there & love on some kids?? This is going to be a great year!

ps- Jackson informed me this afternoon that... "Mrs. Daves lets us take our shoes off in the class if we want!!" Yeah, he is gonna love second grade!
