We're already off to the start of another school year. I'm having a hard time saying that Brenna is in 2nd grade. Somehow that seems so much older than 1st! Brenna was excited to get going with her new year and that is an answered prayer, considering she has started a different school every year since the beginning. When Brenna turned 4 we chose First Baptist Rosenberg for preschool to help her begin her transition to a classroom setting. Then, when she turned 5 and officially started school we moved to Frost Elementary for Kindergarten. After being re-districted, we opened the brand new school in our neighborhood, Adolphus Elementary, our first grade year. Then of course, we had the move and now Brenna is at Sarnia Christian School for 2nd grade. I'm aware that to some this all may come across as bad parenting! Looking back on all of it, I can assure you that school hopping was nowhere in my parenting plan, but God has thrown us some curve balls that we've learned to trust Him with. I also believe that God knew his plan for Brenna and blessed her with a personality and outlook on life that has enabled her to easily navigate and manage these changes. Through it all she's never missed a beat and has openly embraced her new surrounding and friends.
As of this writing, we are a month into the new school year and we're off to a blazing start! We've already had our first class field trip, a new basketball season has begun, and Brenna joined a girl's club at our church called Girl's Alive! We've only been here 6 months, but we're already tied in and connected to so many things. We're quickly settling into a comfortable routine.
Here's Brenna on her first day of Second Grade. She was also very proud of her new school shoes!
