It's official. Jackson and Aspen are second graders. SECOND GRADE? How did this happen? I'm freaking out a little bit... they grow up way too fast! Aspen was completely full of first-day jitters. She couldn't eat breakfast because she was too nervous... "I'll just have a glass of milk." She had planned all week to wear her brand new Skechers but after walking around for awhile she resorted to crying on the floor of her closet and trying on 3 different pairs of shoes because the new ones "bugged" her. She finally decided on older, more comfortable shoes (after lots of tears). She didn't want anything done to her hair that would draw more attention to her than necessary so we brushed, parted and called it good.
Jackson wasn't nervous at all... he got right up, got dressed, spiked his hair with gel, found an awesome wristband & Spiderman watch to wear, threw on his new Adidas and tied them (by himself!), then ran downstairs to play with the dog before school started. A few minutes later... "Mom, can I make myself a waffle for breakfast?" Talk about independence! Maybe having 2nd graders isn't so bad... next time maybe he'll pop a waffle in the toaster for me!
The final report of the day was a great big A+! They made new friends, met up with friends from last year, they love their teacher, the classroom is awesome, recess was fun... and no homework for a week!

Hooray!!! Love the first day of school! Seriously though, we should get the kids together. They'd have a great time! I'm still waiting for reunion details by the way!!
