Anika is in 1st Grade! I've noticed a lot of Facebook posts saying first day of first grade, which is fine. But it made me want to post a picture of her second day of second grade next year. Her teacher seems nice. She is excited about having two kids in her new class from last year and seeing other kids from her old school.
(I hope my lack of photography skills and cute sign won't ruin her childhood.)
She was very excited that she got to go to the school library today. First grade and up can go anytime their teacher allows, up to 3 kids at a time.
A few memorable moments so far... Thankfully the neighbor drove her the first day so she didn't have to catch the 6:50am bus that ended up coming at 7:30! But she did ride the bus home... For over two hours! It's quite hot and has been super muggy lately. No AC in those buses and only wind while driving... It was mostly stopped. That also made for an exciting time for me and Seth. Walking part way to the stop. Going back home and inside to check on Kari. Watching for the bus from our yard since we can get to the stop in time after we see it come in our neighborhood. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
The second day she still didn't get home til about 4:00 (they dismiss 2:15), so we're going to pick her up at least this week until things become regular.
The post title comes from a song about first grade that we found on a library CD about elementary school. Seth would occasionally and randomly sing out that phrase.
