Ella's Thanksgiving School Recital
Last month before Thanksgiving Ella had a Thanksgiving performance with her pre-school. She was so cute. While she was on stage she stood up and was like Mommy where are you?? Calling for me... I waved at her and she smiled so big and was like Hi Mommy, Hi Ryen!!! It was SO CUTE!! She knew all the words to all the songs they had to sing in the pageant (of course) and since she is tall they put her in the backrow. boo hoo! So I could barely get her face. My camera has been acting real bad lately (I think I have it stuck on some horrible settings) so I got no good photos of the stage or the performance. They were dark and blurry. But here are some photos.

Ella is loving and thriving in school...
Ella's new school is going really well. She really loves it. She still asks about New Vistas all the time and her old teacher Ms Esposito. Every now and then she says I want the other school again. But overall the transition is going smooth. I have never seen a kid take to school so well and love it so much. It is awesome. When we pull in the parking lot she jumps up and down in her car seat yelling there is my school!!! It is so cute.
We wondered how much she was really learning at this school versus the school we had her in, as she doesn't seem to come home with as many worksheets and letter tracing sheets like she did at her other school *(everyday she came home with them at New Vistas). But she does come home with a cute craft everyday. See below:
About a month or so ago we walked in the kitchen where Ella was doodling and saw that she had learned to write her name. Here was the paper that we (dorks) took photos of! LOL
She also has been drawing a lot lately. We were surprised to see that while doodling at the kitchen counter she drew actual people. Not even stick figures but real people with real bodies and eyes, ears, nose, mouth and even hair! She seemed to skip right over the stick figure phase. See below:
Jimmy and I thought one of us must have helped her and so we asked her to do it again and got in on video. (yes like I said we are dorks- lol)
She has made so many friends at school. She really took to this girl named Kassidy (who actually lives in our neighborhood and has a super nice Mom so score for us) and a girl named Megan and another named Mackenna. It was so cute to see them running up to each other and saying hello, greeting each other by name like little ladies. And Mackenna would always say Hi Ella's Mommy and Hi Ella's Baby Sister to me and Ryen. So cute! Ella loves her teacher Ms Priscilla and is hoping to be in her class when the new session starts in January. BUT I am NOT allowed to call her BELLA anymore (which has been my nickname for her for a long time) because she had a Bella in her class. So every time I slip she corrects me and says "Mommy- I'm not BELLA anymore I'm Ella!" ...sigh
