It started off great with her favorite breakfast of French toast, followed by a present. Then we went to a jungle gym and swimming, which was great fun. She also had an apple that sort of made her tooth wiggle. For lunch, she chose the place and enjoyed a big fat ice cream sundae (and even shared it with her brothers)! And for the afternoon, we headed to the Hands-On Museum to learn and explore and have a fabulous time. After a small purchase in the gift shop, she had another apple, which really made her tooth wiggle. Eila headed to gymnastics practice, where she worked hard and still had a pretty good time as everyone sang and she shared some chocolate eclair cake with the team and lost a tooth!

Unfortunately, the day wasn't quite over yet, and her tummy started to hurt on the way home and then her brother punched her in the face and Daddy had to work a little late. Her requested dinner wasn't helping the tummy ache and she was full after a bite or two. So, she watched a bit of Whizzard of Ow (Coyote and Road Runner) to cheer her up, and read and cuddled with Dad on the couch. Just as Eila was about to get in bed, she got very sick... Hopefully, the tooth fairy won't forget to come!

Updated to add: Eila has discovered (with the help of the catalogue that came to her in the mail) that the new American Girl Doll of the year is a gymnast! This is so cool. So, she would love to have McKenna's Practice Wardrobe. The beam and bar would be awesome too! New jammies and the accessory set as well as the crutches and cast are also on her wishlist to convert Julie from a hippie into a modern day gymnast.

School isn't all academic though. Even though recess is her favorite she has had a few days where some girls made clubs and excluded her. She is learning a lot playing or not playing with these "friends" about what it means to be a friend. Eila also is learning a lot about being independent and laughing at herself, not that she was struggling in these areas, but she has had a few moments of embarrassment at school with her chocolate milk especially, which are really driving the point home.

Being at school all day, then going to gymnastics right after school 2 days each week means that Eila is not home nearly as much as previously. In some ways, she misses her brothers, we are sure, despite the angry cries to the opposite when they mess up her stuff while she's gone. Mostly it's mom, dad, and free time that she misses. After the first week of school, she decided that it wasn't all that much fun and she'd rather not go at all, but now the adjustment period is over and Eila seems to like school as well as she probably will for the next 11 years!

Her new mug:

ETA 12/15: Eila has been writing this same list with varied order and spellings over the past few days in complete mirror image. She says "I'm left-handed so it's easier to write this way."
