ring leader

Ada has been much happier at her daycare dropoffs this week. This morning I think I figured out why.

She was one of the last in her class to arrive and when she walked in all of the other little kids came over to the gate and gathered around her. She looked all of them over, squawked a little bit, knocked some blocks out of one little girls hands and then pushed through the crowd to explore the rest of the toys in the room. And wouldn't you know it... all of the other little kids followed along. She sat in a chair, each of them wanted to sit next to her. She got up and walked away - they all followed. I'm sure they rotate which kid is the coolest, but for this week Ada seems to be the ring leader. And that would make anyone a happy camper.
