cardinals.

our little warbler became a cardinal yesterday, officially.  meaning, ek moved from the 18 month - 3 year-old class at her school to the 3-6 year-old class.  so crazy.  this is the class she'll be in until she goes to kinder or first grade, assuming we are still living in austin and it's feasible to get her to hawthorne.  it hurts my heart and makes me so proud at the same time.  she was a wreck when we dropped her off - she put her clothes and lunchbox into her cubby and tried to carry it into the other classroom.  but, when i picked her up in the afternoon, she was full of non-stop chatter and seemed to have had a great day.  she did say she doesn't like sleeping in cardinals and would rather sleep in warblers.  i'm hoping this doesn't impact her naps for too long because she is a girl that needs her sleep.  i'm also hoping the older kids i heard calling each other stupid yesterday don't influence her sweet disposition too much.
