Our little blonde-haired lady had another great month! Ellen has been lots of fun lately (no surprise there) and continues to have the biggest personality in the house. EVB is growing like a weed and looking more and more like a big kid ... She's gaining lots of independence in terms of personal-care tasks and can now be trusted to use the bathroom/wash her hands and brush her teeth on her own, and she is making progress when it comes to getting dressed by herself. (She does great with underwear and pants, but still needs help with most shirts and socks.) Ellen started a gym games class at the YMCA where she gets to run around with other kids her age and learn about teamwork and following directions, and have lots of fun. I think this will be perfect for our crazy girl who has endless amounts of energy and has been cooped up inside most of the winter!
A few funny Ellenisms as of late:
- "In a minute" or "pretty soon I will" is how Ellen responds just about every time we ask her to do something ... Girl likes to march to the beat of her own drum on her own schedule!
- Ellen's imagination is through the roof lately; she and her make-believe friends are always going on "ventures" to magical places.
Miss "I don't want my picture taken" Ellen ...
Ellen's playdough snowman. (Mom assisted a bit.) Ellen helped me make this playdough, so she was extra proud of her creation.
