Today, Helen gave Ella a very beautiful twirly dress for a back to school present. Ella LOVES her dress. It also looks beautiful on her. Tomorrow we have a school orientation – 10:00 for Ella 11:00 for Sunny and me. Tonight at dinner we asked Ella how she felt on the first day of school last year and she said, “sad”. We asked her how she was feeling about going back to school on Wednesday and she said, “happy”. We asked her what she could do or say to the new kids who may be having a hard time. She said, “I could hug them…” We asked her if there was anything that she thought she could say to them and she said, “I love you”. What a sweet kid.

Please tell Ella that Grandma and Papa are thinking about her on her first day of school and that we know she will love every minute. The twirly dress is great! Love you. Mom
