2nd Grade?

Where have the last 7 years gone? How is it that my niece, Sydney, started 2nd grade today? Where the heck does the time go?

She was just baby, developing her own little personality. Turns out she is a little ham!

She was so talented, she didn't even have to stop watching her favorite movies to take a picture!

And now she is a second grader. She has grown into an independent little thing!

I wonder how old she will be when she decides she no longer wants to watch The Little Mermaid with her Aunt Jackie?

I wonder how old she will be when she decides her Aunt Jackie isn't as cool as she thought?

I dread the day. And maybe even pray a little that the day will never come. I talked to my sister last night and she told me about something Sydney said at church yesterday. I guess she was being a little crazy (as all kids like to be) and a friend told her she was just like her mother. Syd quickly responded with "No, I am like my Aunt Jackie!" I find it funny and flattering!

If she is anything like me she will be getting into a lot of trouble for talking in class and Math will be her nemesis. But I am sure she will be a lot better at school than I. I can't wait to talk to her and see how her first day of 2nd grade went! I better cherish these days while they last. Before I know it she will be graduating!

AAAHHH! That made me a little teary!! Could we not talk about graduating already.
The pics are too funny, look at her chubby cheeks when she was little.
Your COOL when did that happen? I know she would say Uncle Aaron was cool!
Just kidding.

Aunt Jackie could never me "uncool"!!

Time does fly. I remember little Syd when she was just a baby. She had an independant little personality back then too! :)
