Ella had a great day at school today. At the end of the day, Alicia told us that instead of them reminding Ella to go to the bathroom, Ella told them every time that she needed to go. Ella made her first poop at school! Today was an accident free day. Tonight, we had dinner with Becca at Paragon. Becca lives across the street from Paragon and at the end of the meal Ella said, “Becca, I want to go across the street to your house and get Tucker and take him for a walk.” Becca said that would be great but she had to check with us. Then Ella looked at Becca and said, “I want to go to your house only with YOU”. It was so sweet – Ella wanted her alone time with Becca. Mommy and I waited in the lobby for Becca and Ella for a few minutes and then mommy got a call from Becca. The call sounded like this. BECCA: “Come on Ella, let’s go downstairs and take Tucker for a walk.” ELLA: “I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go downstairs…” and it went on. Sunny went up and got Ella. It was a sweet night. One more thing – Ella and Sunny were in the bathroom at Paragon and Ella was peeing and she looked at Sunny and said, “I am potty trained.” Yes she is!
Another morning running down the hall to get to school. We put a peace shirt on Ella this morning in honor of 9/11.
Playing in the classroom before circle time.
One Ella’s drawings displayed in the classroom. She has been drawing a lot of peacocks lately.
Swinging after school has become a ritual for us.

We’re in Berlin and are connected to the internet. We love seeing Ella’s pictures and are so happy that she’s adjusted to school. We love you and miss you. Mom and Dad
