Avery's first day of MIDDLE SCHOOL!

OH MY WORD!! I have a middle schooler!! Avery started her 6th grade year at her new school today. We are sending her to a Christian school in hopes of smaller classes and good influences. Avery was VERY excited and a little nervous, but overall could not WAIT to get there this morning. I was so afraid of her waking up crying not wanting to go, but she was all smiles.

6 fingers for 6th grade (Yes I made her do that!! :)

She was SO cute last night telling me that a cool thing that middle schoolers and high schoolers are doing is tying a ribbon around their ponytails. I had noticed this before, but never thought twice about it. She asked if I would do a "half way up" and tie a ribbon around it. She picked her outfit out and had it all laid out last night. She wanted biscuits for breakfast and made a biscuit sandwich for lunch (one of her favs).

I have been praying for her all day and trying not to stress out. She is just so precious to me and I don't want her to ever hurt, ya know. I am hoping her middle school career isn't like mine. I hope for better for her. I can't wait to hear about her day!!

  • I'm so impressed that she has such a big smile on her face. My first day of junior high I was so nervous I could hardly breathe!
    Blessings on sweet Avery! (and her sweet Mom:))

  • Avery is adorable and the sweetest girl ever. She is seriously SO pretty. When I was in 6th grade...don't even get me started. (Buck teeth, no fashion sense, slicked back pony tails, and KEDS white shoes...not so cute.) I hope she had a good first day and made lots of friends. I'm sure she did.

    Well today Princess entered Jr High a big old 7th grader.. I'm sure she is fine since all her friends are going into 7th also and I'm pretty sure some of them will have the same classes as she does.. but I still can't wait to hear all abou it.

  • Hi! Your hubby dropped off a package for me tonight. Morgan was going to be in your class at YCW, but I had to keep her at RBS for the extended hours. I had taken a new job in town that was 1 day a week from 9-2:30 and then the school where I've worked the last 2 years, told me I could work there 1 day a week instead of 2, so I kept that job.

    Middle school? Oh' such a fun but often uncertain time!

  • Hey girl! Long time no comment. I can't believe that your daughter has grown up so much. Doesn't time go by so fast? I actually remember when I started 6th grade at Taylor Elementary! Hope you all have a great school year. Is my sister behaving herself?

  • I love tying ribbons in my hair. Seriously even at college everyone was doing that. It didn't help with people mistaking my age tho...they thought I was still like a freshman in high school...not college. I'm cool.

  • It's such a big deal, the first day of school and all. How cute is she!

  • Hey! I was just thinking about you and wanted to say hi. This is the only way I know how to contact you. I'm the lame-o cousin that doesn't have your email address or phone number.
    Hope all is well!
