We cannot believe Ellie is 2 years old already and starting preschool!! She is going to the same co-op Willem went to, Creative Bridges, 3 mornings a week. We had our meet the teacher time the week before and she beelined for the dolls and seemed to be ready to play with friends.
Jason is on nights right now so he was able to drop Ellie off with me and help with photos. Ellie is still in constant motion so getting a picture of her that isn't blurry can be a challenge. She has been ready for school all Summer and regularly practiced carrying her backpack around so when the big day came, we had no concerns.
Ellie was ready to go in but we took one last picture of our big girl!
Her teachers noticed at the observation day Ellie's love for organizing and putting things where they belong. That has continued to prove true 2 weeks later. She takes great care in putting things where they belong and doesn't like when toys are out of place. The doll/cooking area seems to be a favorite.
When I picked her up, she was all smiles and would not let me carry her. She said "self", she wanted to carry her backpack and lunch box herself. 100 feet from the classroom, her exhaustion sunk in and she took a break on a step.
Finally, a still Ellie picture:) After a short rest, she let me carry her to the car. Before we got out of the parking lot, she was asleep. She has NEVER transferred from the carseat to her bed but the first two weeks have been an exception. She was totally exhausted, must have been a fun day!
