The first day...

So preshool has restarted (insert a giant HOORAY!!! here) and mom and Ella are equally excited! She's been asking for a while now when school starts up again, so it was great to finally be able to tell her that "YES, today is THE DAY!" She had already chosen her own outfit: a skirt, which is really out of character for her, but, "just go with it" has been my motto lately, and I'm stickin' to it! She actually matched, which was nice, and she put on a jacket as well, which I think made her look six instead of three, so I had a little moment of sadness realizing that my baby girl is growing up...

She was a little surprised (and maybe a little disappointed?) that the teacher she had last year had moved on to other things, and that she would have a new teacher. But, knowing Ella, she'll just go with the flow and be fine by, oh, tomorrow.

Here's a couple of pics.

She was off and RUNNING as soon as she had her back pack on...


But I did make her turn around at one point and let me take a pic (I AM a scrapbooker after all!)... This is where I think she looks considerably older that she is :( *sniff*
