Frist Day of 2nd Grade!

We are all excited that school has started again!

Elissa picked out her first day outfit. It would not had been my first choice, but it shows how she is trying to look grown up.

This Summer she had a good friend on our loop move away and then we were blessed with another friend moving to our loop just 2 weeks later. So now her friend, Kendall, lives right across the street. Kendall is also on the water, so Elissa has had that added bonus this Summer.

So we went and waited for the bus with Kendall and her brother. Not sure why I didn't get a picture of the two of them standing there, but I didn't. You can see Kendall's outfit from the back. It was so cute. :-)

They were happy to have  Tiffany back as their bus driver.

When she came home and I asked her how her first day was, she replied "It was fine. I met a new friend." I love how any other time she would want to tell me a long story.

Her first homework of 2nd Grade was to bring in 5 items that represented you. Here is what Elissa brought.

I asked her why she picked these items and she said, "I love stuffed animals and this one is really cool because it flashes. I thought the kids would like that. A harmonica because I like music. A sea shell because I like collecting shells. A baby Zhu Zhu because I like Zhu Zhu's. And my necklace because I like jewelry." I thought she did a great job!

I picked out her outfit today and I think it is so much more cute. :-)

Here she is with her spot at the very back of the bus - the place to be. :-)
