First Day of School 2017

Well, summer is finally over (author sadly wipes tear from eye as writing), and school is back in session. The Tuesday after Labor Day Sophie started 2nd grade at Cynwyd Elementary. This year she has Mrs. Murphy and so far loves her. A few of her classmates were in Ms. Henry's class last year, and she's also met some new friends.

The big second grader on her first day! She was the appropriate mixture of excited and nervous. I can remember so well these first day stomach butterflies!

Sophie with her school's mascot. They make drop-off on the first day really fun, blasting music, balloons, and all teachers standing outside to greet everyone. 

And then a week later, on September 11, Lauren started her last year of pre-school. She was much more excited than nervous for the first day. Here's the big girl ready to get back into Mrs. Kiernan's class at Bala House Montessori! When we arrived she ran right into the classroom - no time for goodbyes for Mom and Dad.
