My lite bright bug - Ellie Grey

This morning I received a call from Ellies first grade teacher. She introduced herself and started off by saying this is a positive phone call home about Ellie. Ellie was so proud of the fact that she was going to get a phone call home to me about how she had been doing in school.   To earn her call home, she turned in 15 bright bug points which she had dutifully earned for good behavior during the school days over the past month and a half. Her teacher informed me that she was the first person to earn a phone call home.

Ms. W had only good things to say about Ellie. She said she is a great student who is a role model for others. She takes her responsibilities in class seriously. She does not goof around during class, even though she does at lunch like many if them do to let off some steam. 

It was a short, sweet conversation, and it is best summarized by Ms Ws parting words, "congratulations on raising such a wonderful little girl!" This makes me feel proud. I know Allie is wonderful, but it is wonderful to have others and society see this in her too. She makes me proud. I am excited to watch her grow into all God has planned for her. 

Here's a picture I took of Ellie practicing her math flashcards last night.
