Ela's First Day of Pre-K

My baby started her first day of Pre-K! 9/8/2014

We were hoping for a good transition as she has been in a school setting since she was 1 year old. After the first week I will say it is a success! She had a few funny first things to say about school. But in good Ela fashion I am not surprised.

Me: Ela, how was school today? (picking her up the first day)

Ela: MOM, I farted all day, but don't worry I didn't tell anyone.

When I picked her up the second day they said that she cried going into the Aftercare program.

Me: Ela why did you cry? I will always come and pick you up.

Ela: Mommy, I did cry because I missed you. For 15 whole hours!

She was not even at school for 8.

We were trying out the school lunch thing.I informed the teachers of the food allergies and checked the menu. The teacher informed me that Ela did not eat much of her lunch. She asked me if Ela was allergic to beans? I said no, I noted all of her allergies on her card. She proceeds to tell me "Ela refused to eat her tacos. When I told her she needs to eat, she said she is allergic to them"

Oh my little comedian!

Ela: I made a new friend, her name is Alessandra.

Me: Thats great what does she look like?

Ela: She has shoes.They are perfect and purple. Can you buy me some?

Ela: Mom, remember my friend Micheal?

 He was not good today at school,he hit the teacher.

Me: Oh no, thats really not good.

Ela: Dont worry, I told him if he is not good, I wont be his friend anymore.

Ela: Mom in Greek class today they talked in Polish funny. 

Its a Greek Orthodox school

Doesn't she just look so grown?
