First day of 2nd Grade

Maddie started 2nd grade today. She was SOOOOOOO excited last night. We had a big talk about what we expected from her...I may shoot myself later, but I promised Maddie that if she makes the Vilseck Elementary School honor roll I'll let her have a treat day...she can eat whatever she wants whenever she want. Aiya...

We also talked about what she was nervous about...she only had two major worries...

1. If I play soccer, what if I break my ankle?
2. What if a bully knocks me down on the playground?

We told her that if she broke her ankle playing soccer that we got to decorate the cast and if a bully knocked her down to haul off and hit them. Just kidding. We, of course, gave the appropriate "Go tell the teacher" answer.

We ended our back to school conversation with a little gift of new earrings for her. She's still wearing the piercing posts and came with these extra long dangly earrings that aren't appropriate for school so I bought her some little diamond studs and some mini hoops that won't catch on her clothes and won't be distracting for her during the school day.

This morning came bright and early...we had bought Maddie a new shirt that she absolutely LOVED. She put her own outfit together with the white leggings and new tennis shoes. Tadummmmm



Bella doesn't want her sissy to go!


She was so excited to get to school she HAD to run.


Meeting her new teacher Miss Keller


With daddy on her first day of school


At her table (the girl next to her is her new friend Rhiley)


When we picked her up after school today her teacher pulled John aside to tell him that Maddie had done extremely well and there was a point where the teacher expected a meltdown from a normal 7 year old and Maddie surprised her by not having one! Yayyyyyy! We're hoping this is the start to a GREAT year of school.

Maddie sacked out around 7PM tonight because she was so tired...


Bella was so hyped today that she ended up crashing shortly after her sister...


good night sweet girls!
