First Day of School

Ellie has officially started preschool. She has been so excited to go to school and talks about it all the time. We had to go school shopping for a new backpack, folder, and notebook. She had a hard time choosing between Diego, Ni Hao Kai-Lan, or the Disney Princesses, but finally chose the pink Princesses backpack. The backpack is almost as big as she is. I love her little pose in the picture on the left and how proud of herself she looks....my baby girl is growing up (*tears*).

We had a "homework" assignment for the first day of school. Ellie had to decorate a paper doll any way she chose. She was super excited to sit at her "school" table and work on the homework. Do you see the tiny little hands she glued onto the doll?....Too cute!

It was such a beautiful day that Jason and I picked her up from school with McDonalds in the car. We went to a park, had lunch, and played. All in all, I'd say Ellie's first venture into the world of schooling was very successful. I hope she keeps her enthusiasm.
