... and Dillen is in SECOND GRADE!!

It truly seems like time is flying by...

This year is going to be an awesome year. I was incredibly relieved to find out that Roxy has Mrs. Emert for Kindergarten (the same teacher Dillen had for Kindergarten). And Dillen is in a great class with her best friend, Meg.

On the first day of school for Roxy, last Tuesday (Dillen's first day was Monday), Roxy surprised me (slightly). Not only did she take off like a lightning bolt to her classroom door, she easily took her backpack off and found a place for it on a peg and then started to head into the classroom without even saying "goodbye." I had to stop her for a hug - even then, she was sort of mentally half-way into the classroom. She was READY! The day is a full day for Kindergarteners, as well, but this seemed to have no effect on her. When I picked her up at 2:43, she seemed to own the school. Dillen had a great day, too. She loves her teacher and fell right back into place on her old stomping grounds. The whole week went great... and fast. I can't believe it is already the second week of school.
