Our Summer was cut short with school starting 10 days ago. Yes, it's already been 10 days. Although it brought an end to our lazy days (or not-so-lazy August), I was secretly humming the Hallelujah chorus as the thought of a stricter routine and fewer cries of "I'm bored". While she dove right back into the swing of things, I am still adjusting to the dreaded Making of Lunch each weekday. More hated than the annual school fundraiser, the Making of Lunch is my most detested of school rituals. While she would happily eat PB&J nearly every day, I always feel pressured to come up with something more creative than the standard sandwich-water-fruit/veg combo. Some days we win, some we lose (PB&J on graham crackers).
She was fashionably attired, as always.
Umbrella - the must-have accessory!
It complements her outfit, doesn't it?
(yep, picked it out herself)
New, sparkly lunch bag!
She was excited to see her teacher again.
We missed the school open house (held a few days before school began), but happened to drop in that afternoon. Her teacher was kind enough to give us a tour of the school & Big Sis' 2nd grade jitters were soothed after having looked around.
Another first: she's now a bus rider! Although we only live about 15 minutes from school, she is committed to riding the bus. She is picked up almost an hour prior, and dropped off nearly an hour after school. It makes for a long day, but she swears she likes it. My girl is growing up!
