Papa Smurf?
EM: Have any of the other kids brought in silly bands?
Ellie: The blue kid.
You see, she's made one friend thus far (and I apologize for not remembering her name). Ellie talks about that friend by name; however, all the other kids are apparently nameless.

Mommy and Ellie Weekend
On Friday we went to the library for story time. We brought home a bunch of books. She loves to read so much. We have read them all a gagillion times.
On Saturday Ellie gave me two Dora stickers for "being so good to her."
On Sunday Ellie told me that "she belongs to me."
On Monday Ellie asked "when will I get my own doctor's office?" She wants to grow up and be a doctor "since she has so many doctor toys."
We had fun, but we missed everyone!

First Day of School
The first day of preschool seemed to go great! Ellie barely looked back when Daddy dropped her off. She seemed to enjoy her day. The only comment from the teachers was about Ellie always wanting to be first. This is no surprise to us. We have been working on this ALL summer.
It is amazing the drive this girl has to be first at everything, first up the stairs, first out the door, first on the potty. It is deep inside of her. It seems that preschool is the only answer to reigning this in. In fact, I think in one day and she has made progress . . . .
Later in the evening we were letting the dogs out as a family.
ED opened the door.
I said "Let Daddy and the doggies go out first."
Ellie said "It is good to go second."
Preschool is good!
