Ella is so happy to be back at school. We were out of town on Monday and Ella missed Monday at school. She was really happy to get back to her classmates. Ella’s main teacher, Ms. Alicia is out of the classroom for a few months doing work with the third grade. They have a great teacher taking her place during that time, but Ella really misses Alicia. Every day, she tells me if she saw Alicia on the yard or in the classroom. Some days she says, “I got to give Ms. Alicia a big hug and a kiss.” Sometimes she says, “I just waved at Ms. Alicia because we didn’t have too much time”. The kids made a paper chain in the classroom to count down the days for Alicia to come back. Ella also talks about the chain being very tall and the adults have to take each link of the chain off. Here are some pictures that I took this morning in the classroom.
Beautiful smile, beautiful Ella, even at 7:50 am.

Now here is a movie that I put together tonight. Ella’s favorite movie lately has been Annie. She watches it on Friday nights and loves singing along to the music. Here is a video of Ella at almost 2 years old mixed in with Ella today at 4 years old. It was a trip making it.
That movie is priceless. I love it! And to a person with not such a good ear, I’m so impressed that she’s in the same key two years later. I can’t do it for two seconds. Love you. Mom
That is amazing! I can’t believe how grown up she is in comparison to the older footage — and am I hearing a little vibrato in there??? LOVE YOU!!!
