Let not forget Ella Grace's turn.....

I totally have fallen off the Blog band wagon.... I failed to mention that Ella Grace started back to school last week!  She was so excited to finally have her turn, and she gets Limo service to and from school, so it's even MORE exciting for her!  It's party time when that giant yellow bus shows up to our house each morning!  It was hard to put her on there the first day, but she absolutely LOVES being on the bus, and it's all little tiny pre-schoolers who are on her bus, so I know she's fine!  She even has her own car seat to sit in, and seeing all the faces of her little friends each morning brings such joy.... so many little sweethearts on that bus!

Doesn't this face say it all?


I'm not gonna lie.... I showed up at the school to see her get off the bus, and I was relieved to see there were lots of crazy excited parents just like myself, who wanted to see that our kids arrived safely at school!  I even got to stay the whole morning, as they wanted an extra set of hands to help with the first day!   I loved being there and getting to see how the routine works.  She has 7 kids in her class, with 2 teachers, and even with my help, it was exhausting being there for 3 hours!  It's a very action packed, busy 3 hours spent!


WALKING with her classmates this year!  It's such a proud feeling to see her walking, and not having to be carried, like last year... have I mentioned lately how VERY proud of this girl we are? 

She loved music time!


And to end her day, as they were walking in their line to head back to the bus, she fell, which caused the little girl behind her in line to fall right on top of  her, and Ella Grace's face hit the floor.  I'm so glad I was there, she cut her lip pretty badly, and she cried HARD... poor thing.  I got her all cleaned up (blood was running down her chin) and we came on home.  Despite the rough ending to her day, she had lots of fun and has been excited to go back every day!
