- Exercising greater self-control (read: tantrums have diminished!)
- Becoming even more imaginative (We love listening to the conversations she has with her toys and watching the "scenes" she acts out with her dolls and stuffed animals.)
- Walking to the "acorn tree" with Dad (Our rental complex has a few oak trees on the property ... Ellen and Adam have a very specific routine of walking to these trees, collecting acorns and bringing them home for Mom. Even though this is an almost-daily event, Ellen is SO excited each and every time she presents me with my acorn presents.)
- Continuing to rock at potty training (Ellen is getting even closer to being trained during waking hours. For the most part she stays dry and when she's not dry, she can tell us that she's going or has just gone. She's even initiated the trip to the bathroom a few times, which is huge!)
- Making June laugh out loud (EVB does this mostly by running into the room and screaming in June's face while she's in her jumperoo.)
- Getting ready to go back to "school" (Ellen took a couple of classes at the Minnesota Zoo in recent weeks to get reacquainted with a classroom setting ... She starts a new ECFE class Sept. 11!)
Big girl (with crazy hair!)
Touching a starfish during a class at the MN Zoo (She also touched a frog!)
Ellen loves to sit on the turtle at the MN Zoo ...
and the similar one at Como Zoo
Lunch with Boppa (Ellen is wearing a gold medal she got from Kids' Hair in honor of the "lymstix")
Ellen still loves to hold June whenever she can :)
