Here are some picture of Ella over the past few weeks. I also forgot to write about an important milestone! On April 18, Ella got retainers. She has top and bottoms – the top comes out when she brushes her teeth and the bottom stays in. She has been incredible adapting to them. She only had some discomfort in the beginning. She’s doing a great job speaking through the plastic and metal in her mouth. We may be hallucinating, but we think that her teeth are already becoming straighter (if that’s a word).
Day one with the retainers.
Colette sends us pictures of Ella in the classroom from time to time and it really makes our days so much brighter. We love getting these shots in the middle of a hectic day. There’s nothing better than being able to see Ella in action in her classroom.
On Friday night, we went to the ballgame with the Kim/Arena clan. We all had so much fun. Notice the beautiful rainbow behind Ella and Juliet.
We took Ella, Emmi and Stella to see Frozen at the Castro Theatre on Sunday. It was a fantastic sing along!
A handstand and a headstand.
Looks like Ella has had enough of my picture taking!
We received these great shots from Colette today. The Octopus class was making sandwiches for people who are experiencing homelessness. Ella loved it.
Great pictures. They brighten my day too. Love you. Mom
