This is highlights of the 2011-2012 school year for us. Finally the first and second baby teeth were lost this year (the 3rd and 4th are close). She was SO happy about this.
We spent as much time as we could playing with her on the weekends
Dad got to take the girls to a couple of carnivals this year and the circus! Some day the whole family will get to go to EVERYTHING...when naps are not needed we will be one mobile group.
At school a student was chosen for the student-of-the-month award. A child was chosen that displayed the value of that month. I was impressed that she was the very first child chosen from 1st grade! September's month was Responsibility. I already know how responsible she is, but I was surprised that a teacher was able to see that strength in her so soon.
Here she is with the children from the other classes who were selected.
We also experimented with bangs this year. She had bangs, no bangs, swept bangs, bumped bangs and now back to grown out.
Always bringing home a new "monkey bar trick" to teach her sisters at home.
Field trip to the zoo
First day of school flash back...I couldn't find the last day of school photo, but it exists!
The hardest thing about 1st grade was being away from her littlest sister (well, all 3 of them really, but there is something special about a baby sister). We had many mornings of tears not wanting to say goodbye. Our house is very quiet when she is gone!! Love my Meg
