The BG headed back to school today! Second grade! Wow! Here’s our annual “leaving the house” picture:
Just for reference, here are last year’s and Kindergarten’s pictures too. I can’t get over how tall she’s gotten in the past 2 years.
Looking back, it appears that I’ve worn something I’ve made each of the last two years on her first day of school. (She has to wear a uniform, so no real excitement there.) Well, let me tell you about this year’s outfit…
Yesterday afternoon, BG and I went shopping. We were after the elusive khaki uniform skort, but we never found one. Instead, we hit 6 other stores. We browsed clearance racks and shoes. I chose She let me buy 2 knit shirts that she said she “could do something with that.”
My response: “Like what?”
BG: “You’ll need a belt or a headband or something.”
Me: “I will? Okay. Can I wear the purple one with my white skirt to your school tomorrow?”
BG: “Maybe. I’ll have to see what I can put with it when we get home.”
My big question of the day is this: At what point did I start asking my 7-year old for fashion advice??? Have you seen how they like to dress these days???
What a great tradition to take a leaving the house photo. My daughter takes one of her girls waiting on the bus the first day.
What a cutie. We alway take first day of school photos at home too. 2nd grad is so much fun their still little girls, but just big enough to take part in big girl things with mom. Sounds like she's fasion savy too.
Noooo, I don't want to think about end of summer yet! I'm not ready! Fortunately, I don't have to start my actual school-teaching job until the first Wednesday in September– my school starts on the 31st and I'm a once-a-week teacher.
The picture is adorable!
Also, I tagged you for an award meme, if you want to do it. No pressure. 🙂
