First day (gulp).

Even though she has been excited for second grade (!!!), I wasn’t quite ready to let go of summer. 

Unless she was teasing one of her younger sisters, then I was a little excited.

So to you Lynnie-Lou-Hoo…

I don’t know which was cuter: you singing in the shower last night at the top of your lungs, “I’m gonna be a seeconnnndd graaaaderrrr tomorrrrrrowwwwww!!” or the sweet hug you and dad shared after your back to school father’s blessing.

Or this:

first day too(4)

Or this:

first day too(5)

(You were very specific as to how you wanted your backpack personalized..)

Or your excitement at seeing old friends.

1st day too

I am going to miss seeing this grin all day..  will have to settle for the few I get before 8 am, and the far too many I get while you are silly doing your homework.

1st day 

Or did I love it a little TOO much when you were VERY done with my mammarazzi ways taking pictures?

 first day too(3)

I know you will be a great friend to all you meet this year.  I know you will have a great time, and hope you enjoy all the notes I slip into your lunch (and hope they don’t embarrass you too much).

I hope you grasp all that you are taught, and I hope you find excitement in everything you learn.

(Between you and me, I hope you do far better at math than I was ever able to!)

first day too(2)

Know that every day when you leave, I will be there, waiting for you.

Love you Lynnie-Lou-Hoo, my seeconnnndd graaaaderrrr!

LOVE what you did to her backpack. My girls are excited for me to do something like to that theirs. :-) Always an inspiration!
