The picture above was taken on her first Day of second grade. Which was in August of 2007. But today she was put into the 3rd grade! Mostly because the school she attended in Arizona was a very good school and taught her a lot. So much in fact that this year she was really bored. So after talking and fighting with one school for over 4 months. I switched schools and they put her in the third grade.
Today when she came home from school she had a long missing smile on her face. She was happy and excited about the day she had. I asked (like always) did you learn anything today, which the answer has been no. But today the answer was yes! She went to the school library with her class, and found out that she could check out 2 books and didn't have restrictions on what books she could check out. She was able to get a book by her favorite author. (which writes probably sixth grade level or better) She was really excited by that fact!
Any way it was such a relief this afternoon to see both girls come threw the door happy and excited about school. I know Daisy will probably have her up and down days where she is trying to learn new stuff and play a bit of a catch up game. But I really do think that she will welcome and enjoy the challenge.

You gotta get a picture of the first day of third grade... what will this do to the photo frames that hold 13 pictures, one per year? Hmm... you'll have fun with it, I'm sure! :D
Things have been so crazy that I actually forgot to get a picture on the first day. So I will have to take one tomorrow. I have not really liked any of those picture frames. I don't know everytime I look at them I think ok its cute but do I really want 4 of them? So I will probably wind up doing something myself sooner or later.
