1st day of school






The first day of 2nd grade! I am overwhelmed by the thought. It is so hard for me to accept that my baby is in 2nd grade. Last night, it was even hard for me to write 2 in the grade spaces on all her papers. Well, enough about me. Onto her.
She had a really good time. Loved it! Was so excited about going back to school. She picked out the perfect lunchbox and the oh so great backpack. Nothing else would do besides the one strap backpack. Talk about style! If you look closely at the botom of the backwards picture, you can see her cat playing with the too long strap. Kalyn was glad to see her friend, Grace. If you all remember, Grace is the answer to a prayer of mine. I was having difficulty making the decision whether to send Kalyn to school. Her birthday is so late in the year, I was afraid she would not do well, be too young, etc. So I asked God, if we were doing the right thing, to just let Kalyn have a special friend. In popped Grace. It was instant friendship. The two have been in the same classroom each year and are almost inseparable. We tell Kalyn all the time that Grace is an answer to a prayer. She just looks at us like Yeah, Right. Grace will always be special to us just for that reason.
