Ellie had her first day at preschool this past week! She is attending a small preschool that focuses more on teaching social skills than learning the alphabet or counting.

Ellie was pretty excited, but then again, she is passionate about most things in life (like frost, for example). She was a little disappointed that she wasn’t riding on a school bus, as that has been a lifelong ambition for her, but then again, most things are a lifelong ambitions for Ellie (“Maybe someday I can clean the toilet mommy!” or “When I get big, maybe I’ll go to the moon.”).

Though I was sick that day, there was no way the Digital Dad was going to miss the big first day, so off to school we went.

Since Ellie had missed the first few weeks we wondered if she would have any problems adjusting or fitting in. We needn’t have worried. Before we left, she was walking around hand in hand with two other girls. Girls! Most of her friends are boys, so we were quite happy to see her meeting some girls to have fun with.
