This was a "milestone" week for us and for Ellie because it was the first time we ever left her alone with a non-family member or someone she did not know really well. Steffie and the others who looked after her for several hours each day of the conference in Switzerland said she did really well, and seemed to really enjoy herself.
We are grateful for this for many reasons, but most importantly because it gives us more hope that she will cope well starting in kindergarten next month.
She is also an EXCELLENT traveler, and even slept well ALMOST every night of the conference. The last night she woke up at 3 AM and, except for one hour in the car on the way to the airport, she didn't sleep again until 1 AM the next night!
Switzerland was heavenly (the picture of the mountains and the moon, and the one of Vicki at the bottom of the page were both taken from the balcony of our room), and the only bad thing that happened on the trip is that the Swiss Air people broke Ellie's wheelchair.

That is beautiful and I am glad it went so well for everyone! Is the airline going to replace or repair her chair?!
Ellie, it looks like you had a terrific vacation. Your parents are so proud of what a good traveller you are and are bragging about it. My daughter is a good traveller, too, so I know how much more fun that makes a trip for the parents. Great job!
Leslie
