Ella started her first day of Pre-K the Wednesday after Labor Day - she goes 3 days a week for a few hours.
At first I thought she was going to be nervous to go because her bestie from last year didn't get in the same class as her but surprisingly she did great the first day! She woke up SO excited to go!
We went outside to take the obligatory first day of school pics and it was probably a little too chilly out to be wearing a dress, but she looked adorable nonetheless!

In my head I had it that school started at 9 (that's when it starts for Avery and I swore I looked the night before for Ella and it said 9) - but really it was 8:45 so poor girl was late on her first day! Thankfully no one really cared and it was only by a few minutes since I always try to be early.
She walked right in and did her morning routine and gave me the biggest hug and kiss and walked in (much different than her spunky little sister!)
When we picked her up she couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had! She even drew me several pictures during her morning there.
Since Ella's birthday was actually before school started, they celebrated the following Monday. I was so excited to be able to go to her class to help sing and celebrate her! I think she was equally as excited because she wouldn't let go of me for the longest time :)
Everything has been going great with Ella, although we do have some days where she cries when I drop her off, which of course makes my Mama heart so sad, but I know as soon as she gets in she stops, so that is comforting.
I'm wishing my girl the best year!!

I love when we can go in and share a slice of their day with them. She looks so precious and looks likes she loves it! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteSweet girl! So happy that she is having a good time too. I bet as the year goes on it will get easier and easier as she makes more friends and gets back into the routine.
ReplyDeleteI love that they celebrated Ella's birthday!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIt seems like she loves school, I'm sure she'll stop crying when she goes soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a doll! One more year for us and that will be Andi!
ReplyDeleteAww your Ella is adorable!! So glad that her first day went so well!
ReplyDeleteI think it's totally normal to have some tears, but as long as she transitions ok after a bit, she's great. I know it hurts the mama hear though. I left my crying almost 5 month old this morning at daycare and it made me sad too
So so so exciting about the first day!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is so precious! Glad she had a great first day of school!
ReplyDeleteShe does looks so cute in that dress and I love that they celebrated her birthday! A is the same way and also cried this morning when I dropped him off. I feel so bad leaving him so upset but they always tell him he calms down a few minutes after. I'm hoping it will get a little easier for them each week.

Ella is so stinking cute! She looks so much like you, Lizzie! Stinks that she was late for her first day. That totally sounds like something I would do! Sometimes I'm so bad about checking my planner and I'll just assume I remember the time/day for something and I end up being wrong. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI never realized that Ella and Connor will be starting Kindergarten together next year. Where have our babies gone?
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome first day of pre k. That was so sweet of them to celebrate her birthday too!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so hard when your best friends aren’t in the same class, but I also think it leads to growth!! She will make so many new friends and it will be great. I pray everything continues to go well for Ella.
