Second Grade…

Dear Sweet Dallas,

Today you started second grade. It’s so crazy for us to think about. It seems like you were just getting out of first. Oh wait, you were. You are on year round school here so your last day of first grade was June 28. You had one week before you started second grade today.

You were so excited that you woke up at 4:45 this morning!!! Aahh!!

You got a new backpack and lunchbox and you’ve been looking forward to taking it to school this year.

You grew so much in first grade. Mommy and daddy are super proud of you. You worked really hard in reading and you are becoming quite the reader. And you love math….you must get that from your daddy.

You have lots of friends. You are a sweet girl who loves to be around your girlfriends. This doesn’t go without some “girl drama”, but you’re learning your way through that, and becoming a much stronger and more confident person.

You love dance, and this year you want to play tennis and softball. We’ll see how that goes.

You also are becoming quite the little water skier. We got a boat this year. At first you were pretty nervous out there, but over the last few weeks you have gained so much confidence to where you can actually stand on the board behind the boat!!! What an accomplishment.

Always remember that we love you so very much. You {along with Hunter} are our pride and joy. You are our heart and you make us smile every day. We couldn’t be more prouder!!

Enjoy second grade, darling, and always know that we love you!

In God’s love,

Mommy {& Daddy}
