Dance With The Sunflower

Ella brought home a Mother's Day gift from preschool way back in May. It was a small seedling in a plastic cup. We watched it grow in the little cup until it was too tall to stand up. Then we planted it in the front yard of our old house. We didn't want to leave it there, but it was clear it was not going to live in the cup until we moved to the new house in late June. Lucky for the little seed, we did not sell our old house and we go back on occasion to check on things. Ella waters the flower each time we are there. It has slowly gotten taller and taller as the summer has passed by. Last week, it finally bloomed! Here is Ella dancing with my Mother's Day Gift. What a joy this photo shoot was for me. Thank you Miss Wanda, our Stepping Stones teacher, who set Ella out on this project.
