Spring Update

Sorry we have been so behind in posting lately. The days go by so fast. We try to make the most of our time with Ellie and now that spring has arrived we have been trying to spend as much time as possible outside.

So what has Ellie been up to?

-She has been daytime potty trained since last summer, but her recently she is staying dry when sleeping.

-She is SO ready to start preschool. She will be starting in the fall.

-Ellie has memorized just about every book we read to her. I love it. She knows almost every word and can "read" her books to us.

-She LOVES music. It is amazing how music quiets her. She talks so much that it is hard for ED and myself to hold conversations most times, but turn that music on and we can talk all we want.

I will post some pics tomorrow of an outing we took yesterday.

Two noteworthy moments from a two yr old

One
Saturday Nans and Pa came to visit for dinner just before Pa was leaving for a business trip to Tenn.

ED whispers to Ellie "Ask Pa to bring you back a souvenir."

Ellie says to Pa "Bring me a super deer."

Pa is going to the yearly Tractor Supply meeting so who knows he might find a "super deer".

Two
Sunday Ellie and I were working on getting her dressed.
Ellie starts whining. I ask her to stop.

She replies "But Mommy I am two."
