My First Time.

So believe it or not, this ain't my first time at the rodeo.

Okay.. so 2nd grade isn't really a rodeo.
Where did that expression come from anyway?
And "ain't" ain't really a word.
And you shouldn't begin a sentence with the word "and".

But all that aside, here are a few pictures from my first time in the 2nd grade.
(circa 1991-1992)

My actual 2nd grade school photo. Yikes!

Hanging out with Punkin.

 


My first MLB game. Cubs lost in exra innings. I cried.



Riding a pony on the Mitters' farm.

First day of 2nd grade.

First day of 2nd grade with BFF Hilary. Check the attitude! :)

Polka dots and saddle shoes.

Just me, the neighbor Jackie, and Grody Jody (the doll).

Look Dad! No training wheels!

I earned the name "One Sock" from Cousin Jim.

Twin Day with Hil.

Barbie limo + pink hula hoop = perfect Christmas.

Oh yeah... and the creepily lifelike doll.

Brownies.
Note the patch. It's the only one I ever got.

My cousins. Attractiveness obviously runs in the family.

The Magic House in St. Louis

Don't I look thrilled?
