It was Ellie's first day of first grade. It is a harsh reality when you realize your little one spends more time with a teacher during the day than yourself (the mom). I was excited to find out how her day went and have all the questions flowing through my head answered. Did she eat her food at lunch? Did she find someone to play with at recess? Did her day seem long? Did she make any friends in her class? (she didn't know anyone in her class). Here is her response in true Ellie fashion. Me : How was your dayEllie: It was good...it was really, really good. Before I have a chance to respondEllie: And guess what! It is really easy to make new friends because girls say "do you want to play with me" and I say "sure, I like your ponytail"......and then you are best friends. Me: Oh..good Ellie. What our their names. Ellie: hmmm...... I don't know.I love how simple a child can make things in life be.

Complimenting a girl's hair will get her places in this life! Way to go, Ellie.
What a doll! I hope she continues to have really, really good days in school.
I'm so glad she's liking it. Drew is the same way with names. He told me ha asked a boy in his class to come over...and he didn't know his name.
My sentiments exactly about all day school...I only get a few hours a day with Quaid now. Your Ellie is an absolute doll. I'm so glad she's enjoying first grade.
ellie looks so cute on her first day of school.. and who wouldn't want to make friends with that face?
so funny..
by "funny" I mean what she said. If that wasn't clear :)
That's a good thing she found her best friend all ready...I love that she didn't know her name. Sounds like my son.
