First day of second grade

Sara was really excited. She had a hard time sleeping the night before. Her teachers name is Mrs. LeBarron. The school offers a morning art class and Sara wants to get up earlier to attend! Sara was nervice that she wouldn't have anyone to sit by at lunch. After school she told me she sat by 4 other friends. And was glad she didnt sit alone. She is so cute. I was glad that her fear wasnt a concern any longer. She had a great first day.


Amelia was excited for school also but was way too cool to admit it. She really only likes school because of the social side of it. She loves her friends. She came home and said she didnt know many kids in her class. So I asked her who she knew and she named about 10 different names. Then I said well that sounds like alot of kids that you know in your class. Then she said well I dont know everyone of my class mates! I told her she has all year to get to know them. But I am sure it will only take a few days. Her teachers name is Mrs. Rhodes.


Nic rides bike without training wheels!!

Nic's training wheels were falling apart and all bent up. So Jared decided it was time to take them off. Nic jumped on the bike and took off. It hasn't even been a week and he cant get his bike to go fast enough. He peddles so fast and his bike cant keep up. He even tries to do tricks. His first stunt was going down over the curb. He tried to go up over the curb next and flew over the handle bars onto the grass! It was funny. He didn't even cry. He is my big big boy. He is growing too fast. I swear just yesterday he was learning to roll over.
