Life With Ella

This morning while we were eating breakfast, Ella said that she wasn’t going to go to school.  We told her that she really needed to go to school and she said, “Okay – I will go to school”.  Every morning, we get to the gate where we need to sign in and Ella says in a kind of frantic voice, “You will stay for a few minutes.  I will go to school.  Then after nap time and circle time you will come back”.  Today was no different.  We got into the classroom and Ella began to do some beading.  Then she saw her two little buddies, Tegan and Brickelle sit down on the carpet.  Ella looked at us and said, “School is going to start, you have to leave”.  She kissed us, hugged us and sat down with her friends.  After school, Brickelle’s mom told me that after we left, the 3 of them were sitting there talking with each other and Tegan said, “I love school”.  Brickelle said, “I love school too”.  Ella said, “I like school”.  Brickelle’s mom asked Ella what was wrong and Ella said, “I don’t like school in the morning because my mommy and mama have to leave”.  Pretty sweet.  On the way home, I reminded Ella that it was her special Tuesday with Stella  I also got a message from Helen saying that Juliet was home too.  Ella was chanting, “Stella and Juliet, Stella and Juliet” during the car ride home.   Tonight when mommy came home, she got Ella from Stella and Juliets’, gave Ella a bath and then let her put on the Tinky Winky outfit that Stella lent to her.  Ella was in heaven. Early morning elevator ride. Every morning,mommy carries Ella to the gate and then we all walk in together.Beading… New friendsA very happy Tinky Winky.
