First Day of First Grade

I know parents say it all the time, but WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! In many ways Ella is mature, but it still somehow feels wrong that she's in first grade already. It's been hard to have her gone for 7 hours on M-Th. Fortunately, I get to be in her classroom each Friday from 10:00 - 12:30. Ella loves to have me there--she always rushes over to give me a hug. I wonder how long that will last...
