Regan starts 2nd grade!

Regan started 2nd grade this year!  She was so excited, but terribly nervous about not having any friends in her class. Her first grade teacher earned serious brownie points by ensuring that both of her best friends from first grade, Destiny and Mya, were in her second grade class.  We brought her homemade chocolates the first day of school to say thank you. 

 Regan fell in love with this shirt as soon as she saw it at the store and immediately decided to wear it on the first day of school.  This girl likes anything that sparkles!  After a lot of back and forth, she finally decided to go with her running shoes because she couldn't remember what days she had PE and could not wear heels to PE!

 Regan insisted that I braid her her the night before so it would be wavy for her first day.

 Waiting in line.

 Haden and Lila couldn't have cared less about Regan's big day.  The rocks were all too alluring.  I made both of them empty their pockets and return all the rocks before we left.  I have had rocks that I neglected to take out of pockets prior to throwing them into the laundry fall out of the dryer when I opened it one too many times!

 

 Heading into school as a big 2nd grader!  Her teacher, Miss Berwecky, is in the red shirt.  She is a new transplant into Colorado from New York.  So far, Regan seems to like her.

 And then we headed to Haden's preschool open house.  He has the same teacher, Mr. JP, and a few of the same kids in his class from last year.  However, there are many barely three year olds in his class.  He fits in far better with the kindergarteners than he does in his preschool class, but his teacher assured me that he would do his best to push Haden, both as a leader and in academics.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

 Haden missed Regan terribly the first day!  Regan had a positive report and was eagerly anticipating school the following day.  I sincerely hope that she continues to love school!
