We officially have a 2nd grader! Sounds so funny to say that, but Tuesday was Emersen's last day of 1st grade. Progress reports were handed out and Emersen has been promoted to 2nd grade. The girl is a whiz at school! Reading at almost a 3rd grade level, she is so smart and what she wants to be when she grows up.....a teacher! We couldn't have done it without her 1st grade teacher, Ms. Barnsley. I hope when Emersen grows up and is being interveiwed, someone will ask her, "Who was the most influential person in your life", she answers with "My 1st grade teacher, Ms. Barnsley". Here's a cute pic of them together!We also have an official kindergartner now! Addisen's last day of Pre-K was Wednesday. So sad to leave our daycare since we've been there for 3 1/2 years! Addisen started in the "Two's room" and worked her way up to the 5 year olds, each class providing us amazing teachers. Here's a picture of her on her last day with one of her teachers, Ms. Alyssa.
It's hard to imagine what life will be like with two kids in school! I'm so excited, because it means 1 drop off (which Mick will do) and 1 pick up (which I will do), no day care payments anymore but it also brings sadness for me. I have taken the girls with me almost every morning and picked them up almost everyafternoon and it was a little easier when Emersen left, because I still had Addisen. Today as I drove in, it was so quiet, no one to sing with, no one asking me questions, no one reading a book to me. I guess this is a wayyyyy early sign to let go, just a little. Thankfully, Monday brings camp ~ a whole new ballgame for Addisen, but she's so excited!
