Ruth was kind enough to take some fall pics of the girls and the foliage last Monday. Though neither of them could sit still for more than 5 minutes, the results are fantastic! Bravo Ruth....
Ella is fine, though I am fighting an uphill battle trying to get her to keep her fingers from her nose which she has recently discovered. That little hole is a treasure trove.... It wouldnt be so bad if it were just at home that I had to remind her to grab a tissue. No, she is digging on and off all through public visits to the store, etc!
Ella is 60% potty trained!!! A couple of days ago she figured out that she could sit on the potty, tinkle a little, run to mamma and get a treat. Then run back to the potty, tinkle a little more, get another treat, and on and on until her bladder was empty! The little stinker had quite the scam running. What can you do? :)
Ok, I just realized the first half of this post revolves around bodily functions. I apologize! But sometimes it seems like thats what toddlerhood is all about, bodily functions.... But I love every minute of it! She keeps me on my toes!
Ella loves singing and when we are driving to and fro, she has a long list of songs she makes me run through with her. ABC's, Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, etc. If I sing too slow, she will prompt me to "Sing it FAST!" She emphasizes fast by literally growling. Yes, growling! She is starting to sing on key with me which adds to the excitement of seeing her talents form. We hope to put her in piano lessons one day and are trying to figure out when.
I hope you all have a blessed weekend!!!
