Feeling Quite Grown Up

August 24, 2010 by Tracey 6 Comments

A locker is a big deal.

At least it is when you’re a fourth grader and you’ve never had one before.


Thankfully she’s not into hanging a mirror for primping; just a small magnetic white board and dry erase marker (which, after she entered the classroom yesterday morning, I used to write the following: “Happy First Day of 4th Grade! Love, Mom.” I trust that wasn’t too embarrassing if her classmates saw it!)

Hopefully she paid no attention to the story her dad shared about his school days when kids were sometimes stuffed into their lockers. Oh, my….

It’s pretty amazing how a little thing can make you feel quite grown up.

    That nostalgic feeling of those first days of many school years as a young girl just came flooding back into my mind as I read this post! Love that you wrote her a little note of encouragement! I'm sure it gave her a little nudge of confidence in her day. 🙂

    i have two girls and it's both precious and terrifying to see them grow…my oldest is going into 3rd grade…

    hope your 4th grader has an exciting first day and stands tall knowing how much Jesus loves her and is with her! Precious!

    Love the message. I bet she felt special!

    Been so long since I had a locker. I remember those mirrors and putting things in my door. 😀
