I would've loved to snap some photos of her going into her classroom but before I could finish signing her in, she was in the classroom, her bag was on her hook and she was sitting on the floor with her classmates. A complete 180 from the shy girl who was putting her fingers in her mouth. I didn't have time to take a photo because before I could even get my camera out she was said "Bye Mommy" and gave me a wave. (sniff sniff) I love how independent and fearless she is! Later when I came to pick her up I left my camera in the car. Bummer too because when I was walked up she was holding hands with a girl in her class. Her name was Maya. They were holding hands and looking at each other smiling. They kept swinging their hands together. They were the only kids holding hands. I immediately regretted not having my camera. But I was so happy that she feels that comfortable already with some of her classmates. =) (sigh)
Thursday started off funny. We struggled to find red in Ella's wardrobe for day 2. But we came across a July 4th themed dress with big red stars and flowers (also from Nana and Grandpa). We put it on her and she immediately chooses these black old lady granny shoes to wear with it. I was like "dear god no!" but Jimmy told me to let her wear them since she clearly LOVES these shoes and wanted to wear them so bad! She looked hilarious, but I guess this is what makes her funny and independent. So I had to snap some photos! Here is her going to school today!
When I picked her up though, she was having some trouble. All the kids came out wearing these red puppy dog ears. They also had black on their noses to look like Clifford. Ella somehow managed to be the only kid in her class to smear the black off her nose and right into her eye. She was rubbing her eye frantically and all red and swollen when I came to get her. I did manage to snap a photo of her in the car after we used water to rinse out her ye, but not every great ones. Anyhow enjoy the fiasco below!
Lastly, Ella got her first homework assignment. She had to list 10 things she was thankful for in her life. She didn't really get this concept too well, so I asked to come up with things that make her feel happy and here is what she came up with (with a little help and encouragement):
