Rich and I dropped Ellie off today for her first day of preschool. She is only going for a couple of hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it will make the house just a little bit quieter (in a little-bit-of-a-sad-way) until Luke's arrival in about 2 weeks. Here she is in her first-day-of-school digs.
We love you, Ellie! Hope you have a great first day!
*Update: Ellie's first day was great! She seemed to have SO much fun. She told me all about a rabbit in class that was white with a pink nose and pink ears named Wookie. Well, Ellie says her "l" like a "w" so this needed some clarification. I asked her if it was Wookie, or Lukie, like her brother's name...and she said Lukie, like her brother. And then I wondered whether or not it was a real rabbit or a fake one so I asked her and she told me that it was alive like our dog Sadie. I still was a little wishy-washy on the whole thing, so I texted Melinda for the reality of the class pet. It turns out that the rat, not rabbit, is a puppet, not alive, named Mookie, not Wookie or Lukie. The whole thing cracked me up so much that I had to post it here so I would remember. She also told me that two boys cried during the class, that they went outside for a little bit because it was still raining, and they sat on the circle rug. I also took a picture of what she calls her polka-dot paint artwork.
I think the day was a complete success and I know she is totally looking forward to her next day of school.
