Ella 31 Months!

Ella Grace- you are 31 months old. I thought I would share a bit about what you are up to these days. You are hilarious! So, so funny. You make us laugh all day long with your knock knock jokes and some of the other stuff you come up with! You are BIG helper, especially with Briggs- always giving him the binky and giving me a play by play of what's happening. You are so loving, always giving kisses and telling us, "Love you too." You are so smart- you know all your letters, shapes, colors and over 30 sight words. You love learning! You are so polite. After I took you to the doctor this weekend, the doctor took your pulse and you turned to her and said, "why thank you." You are always going around saying, "Nice to meet you" while shaking hands. It's so cute. Tonight you yelled to the guy at Menards, "Have a good night." Some of the stuff you come up with, boy, you amaze us! Right now we are potty training. You are doing a great job. You have known what you were doing from the start. You love running to tell us you went. Seriously, you've had no quelms about it, we've only been doing it about 10 days and you've got the hang of it and it's really no big deal for you. Right now your struggles are going to bed (ugh!) and eating. You are too busy to eat, too busy to sit. I should have known, you were this way from the beginning! And you are too busy for bed! Always have something to do, something to see, something to say. You're so funny. Every night when we say it's bedtime you yell out Back Mommy Back. You want me to pat your back. Which I will gladly do, but you won't sit still long enough for me to. You are having bad dreams too which is sad for us. You woke up the other day yelling Daddy Fell, Daddy Fell. Today you woke up from nap screaming Mommy and all you wanted was me! Tonight, Daddy was watching a movie. You said, "Mommy, where's Daddy. " I replied, "Watching a movie." You say, "Oh." You walked into Daddy and said, "Hi Dad, what movie?" Daddy replies and you said, "Oh, is it good, you like it?" You're always concerned about us! AND, you are the life of the party! This week, all of the neighborhood kids started playing outside and thanks to Daddy's playset, everyone (9 kids sometimes!) are in our yard playing with YOU and your things and YOU love it! When I say its time to come in you say, "my girls, my girls" which is so funny because all you do is play with the boys! Ella Grace, we love you more than we can say or show. You are the light of our lives. We are so proud of who you're becoming and the sweet sweet girl that you are to Briggs. You LOVE playing with him and talking to him and showing him things. It makes our hearts so happy. Thanks for filling our lives with joy and chaos- we wouldn't have it any other way!
