Ellie is a super fun, very smart and strong little girl. She is talking up a storm. There is very little quiet time in our house anymore! She is very into counting and her abc's. They have been working on letters at school, plus we have some large foam letters in her room that we play with that are helping her learn. She knows "my letter" - "E", Tommy's letter "T" and Mom's Letter "A" and Dad's Letter "M" - as she often calls Mikey and I by our first names instead of Mom and Dad.
As anyone who has recently babysat for her knows, Ellie adores Mickey Mouse. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on television and asks for frequent viewings. She also likes playing with her doctor's kit, puzzles, and likes to do art of all kinds: stickers, crayons, markers and Mom's least favorite - watercolors.
Ellie and I bake a lot. She is a good helper in the kitchen. We frequently leave the kitchen in shambles after we bake, but it's still a lot of fun.
She is still in gymnastics class on Saturday mornings and enjoying it. Her teacher told us last week she is ready to move up to the next level. So Mighty Munchkins Level 2 today, with the Olympics on the horizon!
Ellie is now potty trained, and she is working on the next steps of holding it through naptime and bedtime. She has really done a great job at this and is a pro!
She is still an amazing big sister to Tommy. She loves seeing him and is now so proud that he is at school with her. She visits his class during the day and loves to go with me to drop him off in his room and pick him up. She is really proud of him!
We are so proud of Ellie - she is getting so big. She is a really bright, strong young lady!
Here are some other recent shots of her....
