Ella Starts Preschool

Ella started preschool on August 17th. She goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She absolutely LOVES it. I was a bit of a wreck that first week, but we took her in and dropped her off and I managed to hold it together until we had walked out (I didn't want her to see me cry). She was all about it....no separation anxiety (except for me!!), no crying. We snapped a few pictures and she was off exploring her new classroom. We are so excited for her. She is so eager to learn, and so very smart. And yes, I'm her Mama so of course I say that...but seriously folks. This girl is brilliant. Her teacher is loving her and Ella is definitley loving her teacher. We have already had school pictures and our first book order. The fire truck came to school last week. Next week is Johnny Appleseed week. And in October we take a trip to the Pumpkin patch. What fun for our girl!!

With Mommy and Daddy, before we headed to school.

In the car, showing off her Dora lunchbox.

Backpack on, check. Lunch in hand, check. All ready for school!

I love the look on her face here. Full of happiness and excitement. This is where she was when we left and don't think she really even noticed.

I'm not sure how it is possible that my baby girl is in preschool. Seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant with her. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home. Doesn't time go by in a flash? There is no doubt that her first day of school was one of my proudest moments so far. And I know there are many more to come :)
