1st Day of School

Off to a great start!  Ella didn't even really want anyone to walk her to class the first day (Michael did, just to make sure she found it OK and then she told him he could leave!)  Addy ran off to find friends as soon as she set foot on school property.  They are growing up too fast!!

This is going to be a big year for Ella, I can just feel it - for the first time, since maybe she was an infant she wore shorts and a t-shirt to school.  And she actually wanted to put her hair up, with a bow.  Obviously clothing and hairstyle don't really say much on their own, but the change from the norm for essentially the past 6 years is huge.  Then this Friday she brings home some of her school work and she is writing sentence with the words spelled phonetically.   Her cover is blown and I have the evidence.  Anytime she tells me "I can't" those worksheets are coming out!
