1st Day of 2nd Grade for Megan!!!

So we went up to the school and looked through the class lists. Megan got the teacher she wanted, but her closest friend is NOT in her class. She took one look at the list, amidst 4 other families clamoring to see the board, and burst into tears. After assuring her she had 1 good friend in the class, even though it is not her best friend, we went and found out where her classroom is. And we also found out that Jack's best friend is not in his class, either - which I think will be good for both of them. Hopefully we can still have playdates but not have the boys so attached to each other.

This morning went a little better than last year - not as much weeping and gnashing of teeth from Megan, which was nice. Dan got me up with him, I got some stuff done before I woke the kids up for the day. Megan was very unthrilled about school. We ate breakfast and debated over her choice for bottoms for her uniform (between a black skort, a khaki skort and khaki horts). The shorts are boy shorts and are a bit big on her, but she really wanted to wear them. And they turned out fine. Lord willing, she will have a great day and we will be excited to hear all about it when she gets off the bus this afternoon. I'll have to make a special treat for her...
