Ellen had another fun-filled month of being 4! She's continuing to grow like a weed and is having a blast exploring the world around her. Here's what Miss EVB has been up to:
- Writing. Ellen is getting better and better at printing her first name and now prints June's name, too!
- Agreeing to watch (certain) movies again. Ellen has been on a movie strike for several months, insisting that every movie under the sun is "too scary" to watch. Well, a few weeks ago, I somehow convinced Ellen to go on a date with me to see "Frozen" in the theater. SHE LOVED IT! (So did I!) Ellen was brave through the few scary parts and couldn't get enough of the main characters, Princesses Elsa & Anna. She now talks non-stop about "Frozen" and even attempts to belt out a few of the songs from the movie.
- Hosting Prayer Bear. Ellen recently was chosen to take "Prayer Bear" home from preschool. Each child gets a chance to spend time with the stuffed bear and then journal about their adventures with him. Ellen was beyond excited and Prayer Bear went everywhere with her for the few days we had him. It was a great lesson in responsibility for our little lady since we had to be certain Prayer Bear didn't get dirty or lost. :)
- Hiding things. Ugh ... Ellen has a new habit of placing random objects in random locations. Our lives right now are filled with missing shoes, puzzle pieces and small toys. Countless items go unseen for days until we find them underneath rugs, behind couch pillows, buried deep in the stuffed animal bin, etc. It's cute, I suppose, but it sure makes it difficult for us to stay organized. :)
- Loving her role of "oven checker." I recently showed Ellen how the oven light works, so she has declared herself the resident checker of food cooking in the oven. It's her job to check on the melting/browning status of our meals to ensure everything is cooked to perfection.
