School Girl?


Ella has been excited about going to school ever since her older sister started in the fall. While there is a 2-year-old program at the school, I wasn't sure she was ready to start--or maybe I wasn't ready for her to start. :) Either way, she has been more than eager to go to school and has been asking often when it would be her turn. There happened to be an opening right after Christmas in the 2-year-old, 2-day-a-week program, and we decided to try it out. Needless to say, she loves it! On the first day I walked her in to meet her teacher and see her classroom. She seemed a bit unsure, but not scared. I watched with a tear in my eye as she walked down the long hall and around the corner with her classmates. She had a great first day, and on the second day I asked if she wanted me to walk her in again or if she just wanted to jump out of the car with her sister. She promptly replied with "Oh, I jump out with Lily, mom! " She is such a big girl now! Just in time for her little brother to arrive.
