First Day of Second Grade

It's hard to believe my little Ethan is in second grade!!  I'm happy to report that this was the first year of no tears on the first day!  This is also the first year he is not in school with his buddy Will.  They have been in class together every year since preschool.  I was a little worried but he is unphased.  I think it helped that they were separated in baseball starting last season.  He seems to like his teacher so far.  I think she's a good mix of nice and strict.  He says he doesn't like her.  He likes another teacher better because she calls him "sweetie" whenever she sees him.  I guess to a 7 year old that makes her the better teacher.  ;-)

This was actually the night before at Meet the Teacher.  He got to put his school supplies in his desk.

This was te best pic I could get.  I think he's getting to the age where he doesn't want his picture taken.  That's sad for a momma who loves to take pictures!

He chose a Ranger's backpack this year.

Drop off was totally uneventful.  There were no other parents in the classroom so we just dropped him at the door and left.  I was a little bummed that I didn't get to walk him in.

This was from another morning that week.  He's showing off his new school shirt with the Ranger-like logo.
