I cannot believe that five years ago today this little bright eyed bug came into our lives! She is truly one of the kindest, sweetest and most loving kids I know. She is so smart and funny it blows me away. I am so proud to be her mom, and I am so glad her sisters have such a great example in their lives! Ellasen is in private kindergarten where she excels. She goes from 8-3 5 days a week. Her teacher's name is Ms. Winter and she says "Ellasen is an absolute joy to teach."She really takes pride in her work and in her daily reports home. She can't wait to show me everything they have been up to during the day! She also wants me to read her daily report right away, and she loves to get her homework done as soon as she gets home. I hope this continues as long as possible! Ellasen's favorite subjects are reading, writing and art, but she is gaining more and more interest in math every day. She really likes Spanish too, and she will often tell me what the Spanish word for something is when she sees it. For her birthday this year we are giving her one hour a week of gymnastics and ballet. I know she will love it. We are also going to look into some art classes for her soon. I will forever be grateful to Ellasen for making me a mommy five years ago, and I am really excited to see what this next year brings for her!
