Our baby is growing up! It is official! She is now in big girl school! In the U.S. she is in Kindergarten but here it is called Year 1 as we don't want to say that she is in Kindergarten as that is like pre-school here.
She is going to an international school (private-British). She absolutely loves it! For now, she really likes wearing a uniform but I can see that wearing off as she loves to be herself and loves fashion. She was most disappointed that she can't wear nail polish. :( But I promised her that she'd have the prettiest painted toes and during breaks we would paint her fingernails!
She has a teacher from the U.K. and she started speaking "fancy English" the first day. I knew that was coming. Really, her teacher is very sweet and we feel blessed that Ella got her!
The pics are of us taking her to school. We were very excited that WE were able to take her since Matt was in Egypt with the team & wasn't supposed to be back until the night of her 1st day...but...he worked it out so he could leave early & surprise her that morning. Problem was that I knew about it & expected him by 12:30 am and instead he arrived about 3:30 am due to some issue with the plane that had them grounded on the runway for 3 hours. Neither of us slept and with school starting at 7 am...we were both exhausted. But...boy was she excited to have us both there for her big day!!
The other pic is of her after her 1st day! Nice hair! :) They had said hair pulled back so I tried a ponytail. Now I know that "pulled back" has many interpretations so she has had her old hairstyles...minus the flashy headbands & barrettes. Our pretty, grown-up girl!
We are so excited about not only our new adventure in Doha but now her new adventure in school!! So exciting!
