First Day of Second Grade!

I canNOT believe my baby girl is starting second grade!
That's just plain weird!!

So,... of course, I am a dork and had to take pictures of the first day of school...

Here's Lexi in the early morning AM, showing off her new "Hannah Montana" backpack!

OH YES - Even in front of the marquee!
I wonder how long she'll let me keep doing this shot?

One of her friends, Courtney, was already in class waiting for her to get there!

I MUST say - this is the very FIRST year, that I did not cry while dropping her off!
YAY ME!
However, afterward, there was a parent mingle in the library, and one of my friends came in with watery eyes, and.... oh yes,.... I started to cry.
Not uncontrollable sobbing (like kindergarten) and not bubbly snot crying (like first grade),... just a little tears and some nervous laughter (at my self)!!
I guess that counts for improvement?!?!?


So,... Cooper was super sad ALL day!
We went to go pick her up at school, and here he is when he first saw her!
It was such a sweet moment!
