Tues Aug 18th

Ella starts school tomorrow! I can't believe it, my baby in 2nd grade. We have back to school night tonight where we'll meet her teacher. I can't believe the summer is over. Ella is ready and excited for school to start but I'm not. I could use a few more weeks of summer! 

We did some unpacking this morning then after Lincoln's nap we went to the dinosaur museum. Nick was able to come which was very very fun. 

It was a pretty cool museum. The kids loved being with their dad.

Then we came home and and did some crafts. 

This is the cute site I saw when I came in from putting Lincoln down for his nap. It was so cute to see Nick working with the girls on their crafts.

Then we went to back to school night where Ella met her teacher Mrs. Rynes. Ella liked her teachers blonde hair. She seems super super nice. I told her about Ella's dyslexia. We'll see how the year goes now that we know about the dyslexia. I started doing some research about dyslexia. I'm so glad we found out about it while she's still little. The research shows that when you find out when they're young most the time they can still learn to read and write and don't have any major problems. But if you find out when they're older then things can get really tricky and they can have low self-esteem and major learning problems.
