Officially a 2nd grader

So Tamara started her first day of 2nd grade today. Drop off went well. She was a little sad because her best friend was in a different class but she handled it well. A few years ago, she would of had a melt down, this year she just acted sad but was able to think throught it, accept it and move on. Now that is an accomplishment!! Its amazing that my once baby is now in 2nd grade. Time sure has been moving at light speed. We are very proud of Tamara and all she has accomplished so far. She is one intense kid but she has been learning to use that intense behavior to her benefit. She has been trying really hard to use her "big girl" skills of control. We all realize that it must be hard to be a perfectionist in an un-perfect world. Tamara has still had some trouble in the "loosing" department as she HAS to win at everything but even that has been getting better. We have been told by many that Tamara is going to be an amazing adult because of her intense personality and we believe them. She amazes us every day! Good luck on your first day Tamara!
