Big deals

The girls have both had really big weeks at school this week.  Yesterday, Briana got to take Ellie to school for show and tell.  She has been anticipating this for weeks.  I have been dreading it for weeks.  Only because I worry that Ellie is going to pee all over Briana's friends.  But, I took some precautionary measures, and Ellie was able to control herself.  I had to walk Ellie to the back of the school to Briana's classroom, and I was debating how I would get her back there without her paws getting all wet from the grass.  I came up with this solution.

I loved it, and Ellie hated it. 
So, I let her walk on her leash. 
She was well received by Briana's classmates.

She even rolled onto her back at one point so everyone could scratch her belly. 
Briana was in heaven.

This whole week at school, Sydney has been the Star Of The Week.  It's a big deal.  She got to make all kinds of papers with all her favorite things on them that they hang up in her classroom, and she gets to take some of her favorite books and toys to school to share with her class.  She worked on this quite a bit over spring break last week, and it turned out awesome.  I got to see it all today when I had lunch with her. 

I also got to see her desk, where she has her Smurfs books neatly displayed.  Cute!
