First Day of Second Grade

How can meg already be in second grade?  It seems with every new grade, every birthday, I find myself asking how can time be going by so fast?  How can Meg be growing into such a beautiful young lady so quickly?  I guess I just need to accept that there is nothing I can do to stop the clock from moving forward.  Whether I like it or not, she’s growing up. 

Meg was so excited about the first day of second grade.  She was so easy to wake up on her first day.  There was no fighting about what she was going to wear, no fighting about brushing her hair or teeth and no fighting about what was for lunch.  It was a beautiful morning. 

I had to beg her to let me walk her in this year.  I have a feeling this may be the last year I’m going to be allowed to walk her in.  That morning, while Meg and I were eating breakfast, she actually asked me if I would be walking her into school when she was a freshman in college?  She’s such a smarty pants sometimes. 

As we walked into the school for the third year, I couldn’t help but think about the first day we walked into that school in 2009 for Kindergarten.  As I look back at the pictures from Kindergarten, I can’t believe how much she has changed.  Meg is no longer a little girl, she’s turning into a beautiful young lady. 

This year has gotten off to a much better start than Kindergarten and First Grade.  I hope that we will keep this momentum going forward. 

Meg, I love you more than you will ever know.  You are my everything!  I see you.
