3 Down...177 to Go!!!

Well, we did it...we made it through a BIG week with only a few tears. Ironically, the tears came from the least likely Mayo...Sadie Kate. She has had the roughest time transitioning from being at home with Mom and Ellie 24 hours a day to being left (without her big sister) at daycare. Those who know her well can understand why her previous teacher at daycare called her "Sassy Kate" and why I was so thrilled when she got a "no-nonsense", but loving, teacher for this school year. Needless to say, there is a definite power struggle going on in that room and I have yet to place my bet on a winner!

On a much happier note, Ellie has transitioned to kindergartener like a pro! She has had positive behavior reports each day (today's said she was quite talkative, though) and has already made several new friends. She has also learned to let Elijah sit down at his spot on the rug first "because he pushes friends off their squares and uses his mean face". Oh, the lessons learned in Kindergarten!
