Last night we welcomed the opportunity to take a break from new-carpet-home-recovery to attend a preschool open house. The point was for Ella to show us her classroom and projects. Delia was invited too, as a student next year, to see again what preschool is all about. We looked through all of Ella's books, met Scamp and Scurry the guinea pigs and saw Ella's "Favorites" sign hanging on the bulletin board. We had to laugh at some of her answers. Miss Debbie told us she was the only kid who said "The Mall" was her favorite place to visit! Dave said, "We're in trouble already." It's not on the sign either, but apparently the "Enchilada Restaurant" that is Ella's favorite is in Mexico. She must have gone without us at some point.

One of Ella's proudest achievements this year is mastering the 12 monkey bars. She proudly showed us several times how she can swing across with her "strong muscles." I'm most proud of her grasp of early phonics. Just today, I found her staring at some words, working very hard on her letter sounds. She was able to actually decode some of them! The word "sun" will be the very first word she read totally on her own! Ella leaves these 2 years of preschool so enriched and blessed by her experience. We are so thankful for her teachers and the phenomenal job they do instructing and encouraging our kids. We'll see what they make of Delia now... :)

Tell Ella that my favorite ice-cream is also cotton candy. We'll have to share some this summer. Maybe we can swing by Mexico to pick some up.

That monkey-bar feat is pretty impressive. Go, Ella!
