Today I spent some time in Ella’s classroom filming the kids as they were talking about what they knew about bees. Ella said, “ I know about bees that they could only make honey if they collect nectar from the flowers.” I was wondering if she meant pollen but we looked it up at home and bees do collect nectar and use it for food. Ella is great in the classroom. She’s interested in just about everything and she works really well alone as well as with her friends. After school today we hung around with Brickelle and her family, having fun on the street in front of the school. Ella saw lots of friends leaving the school and she was talking away with all of them. What a difference 2 1/2 years makes. When we came home, mommy was home so we all took a walk outside – Ella was on her bike and we were walking Towby. We made a few stops – went to the little park and then came home. Sunny had to go to a celebration for Leadership SF, so Ella and I had a date at Nama. On the way out, we bumped into the Kim/Arena clan in the hallway and they all did a few laps and Ella had an amazing appetite for dinner. Ella and I had a really sweet dinner. She fell asleep at about 8:15 which is super early for her. Tomorrow morning is the Leaping Lizard hosted assembly. Be prepared for a lot of video. Ella cruising down the cove. Yes – it was another beautiful day today. Playing with some kids on the merry go round. Listening to Stella singing “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” Ella is mastering the chop sticks with one hand. Ella took this one of us. Check out how well her nose is finally healing!
I’m so happy for your beautiful days with Ella. I know you’d like to be working, but this time is so precious; I know you feel lucky to be able to enjoy all this time together. Love you. Mom
