Ellie starts second grade - August 24, 2015

About two weeks ago we drove past the elementary school on out way to a birthday party and Ellie excitedly cheered for her school! She was so excited at the thought of returning to school. My girl loves school and that makes me happy !

Today was her first day of second grade. She is not feeling great. She has a pretty hefty cold. Ellie is usually fantastic when she has a cold and doesn't let it get her, but this one had her in bed yesterday. Despite all this, she was off to school with a smile this morning.

She got up with a great attitude and got herself ready to go. She even enjoyed a dance party with Clair upon Clair's request this morning.  It's cute how much you love spending time with her little sister and having her little sister want to spend time with her. This is one of Ellies many great qualities.

I managed to make her her favorite breakfast this morning, pancakes with chocolate chips. She enjoyed only one of them because she didn't want to have an upset stomach or have to use the bathroom and go  "long potty" in school. SHe is so disciplined.

We didn't have time for a big photo shoot before we headed to the bus stop, but I did capture a few pictures. I kissed her and told her I was so proud of her and to go have fun.

Getting on the bus for second grade was phenomenally easier for Ellie and then it was even a year ago. She was excited about getting to sit further back in the bus this year. She likes moving up not being the youngest. I suppose that is all normal progressions in life and school.

I'm anxious to hear how her day has gone, but not the least bit worried. My girl will have another great year of school I just know it!
