Ella's in school

It's somewhat bitter-sweet, but Ella started school this week! It's nice to have a consistent place to take her every day so I can go to work, but I just hate being away from her all day every day. She's still not taking a bottle or drinking milk much at all, so it's really tough, but I guess we would have to do it eventually. :) What's great about it is that she loves going to school! When I drop her off, she jumps out of my arms (almost literally!) and wants to go play on the floor with the other kids. She also gives her teachers big huge smiles when she gets there. And that's just the first week so hopefully it'll just keep getting better. They said she's being a little stubborn about sleeping, but they get her to sleep either in the swing or by rocking her. I'm happy that she's got some other kids her size to play with too. She's much more interactive with kids than Owen ever was (or is for that matter...). Yesterday when I dropped her off, she crawled right up to this little boy who was about her size and just stared at him for several minutes. It was really cute. I love seeing my kids playing with other kids. I dont get to see it much, so it's fascinating to me. :)

Ella's having her first full day without me today too! I've got volleyball practice for the Richardson Corporate Challenge tournament that HP participates in every year. I wont be home until about 10, so it'll be a long day for Ella without me! (and me without her!!!) I hope they get her to drink some milk! :

Just in case I forget... Here are some upcoming post topics:
