Last day of school...and awards Day

Bittersweet walking our baby up the sidewalk on the last day of school. She started the day as a first grader and is now officially a second grader. According to her second grade is not just more work it's more responsibility and it's upstairs which is cool ;)
  She did excellent on her awards. Most improved in one area, citizenship, science fair and a couple others. Best of all was her smile of happiness for having such a great final report card with the comment "Very good student. Caring and enthusiastic. Was a pleasure to have in class and she'll do great. She is promoted to second grade" :)
   Of course after the awards she got to leave for the day which meant lunch out before dropping her and Daddy off so I could head to work and finish my day out.
  Second grader....man alive...where has the school year went!!!!
