2:2 (Second Day of Second Grade)

Coco informed me that this is a special day--the second day of second grade. In the rebellious spirit of grammar school, I'm opting out of posting our summer pics chronologically so you can see Coco in all of her Second Grade glory.

This is actually the first day of school.

Gertie has been trying to get in the car every time we open the door. Maybe she's decided she wants a dog's life (who doesn't). I think she'd go off to school with Coco if we'd let her.

Actual photo (unretouched--wow!) of Coco's Second day of Second Grade. Coco didn't grant permission for me to snap this shot, so I had to do it surreptitiously. Maybe she'll forgive me when she finds out. Anyway, this will be Coco's classroom for the next two years (combined 2nd-3rd grade class) and she's very happy to be reunited with some of her friends from her kindergarten year, including Claire, Adia, Kayleigh, and Rory. Teacher Allegra seems very nice and Coco is looking forward to her focus on mathematics. Although Coco and her bestest buddy Monica are in different classrooms this year, they'll still hang out during recess and carpool and any time in between they can get! Here's wishing Coco a safe, fun, productive Second Grade!
