Third Grade's a Charm

Summer flew by far too quickly.
But Cora is ready.
Ready for third grade, ready to see her friends, ready to get to know a new teacher, ready for homework... Wait. Maybe not ready for that last one!

I love that she chose to get dressed up for her first day of school.
We traded in some clothes at Children's Orchard a couple of weeks ago, and with the credit, Cora had to have this beautiful turquoise and black number. So classy!
(If only the new shoes we bought didn't give her blisters on her heels after her first day of wearing them! But I digress...)

The girls were eager to ready for school Wednesday morning, and happy to find their scooters and helmets waiting for them in the garage. Perhaps our orange stroller will be retired soon, with Violet now riding a scooter for our morning walks?

Happily, Sophia, Vivian and Riley are in Mrs. Breneman's class with Cora.

And a few more third-grade friends - Oliver, Trent, Sophia and Anthony.

This Sophia isn't in class with Cora - second year in a row they aren't classmates. They'll have to see each other on the playground, on the prisoner courts. That's a game Cora loves that seems to have sprouted at her school. At least, I've never heard of it anywhere else...

Best of luck, Cora, for a fantastic third grade year!
