Ellen's First Day of Preschool

Miss Ellen is officially a preschooler! We can't believe she's big enough to go to school, even if it is only two mornings a week. EVB's first day at St. Ambrose went great. She was very excited and had no problem whatsoever during drop-off time. She's a brave little girl! She's been a little tight-lipped about everything she did her first day, but I've managed to gather the following details about her activities in the Caterpillar room:

• At "circle time," Ellen sat on the "O"/octopus and "F"/flamingo squares and her teachers sang the same "days of the week song" that mommy sings.
• She had an English muffin with jelly and milk for snack.
• A few friends were sad and cried because they missed their moms and dads.
• Ellen played on the playground where she steered one of two steering wheels while playing "captain."
• She used the bathrooms/sinks that are "just her size."
• She did a schoolhouse art project using cut-up shapes.
• She took a drink from the drinking fountain.

Best of all, Ellen keeps saying that she can't wait to go to school again. Woohoo!
