This little cutie is growing up way too fast. She turns two at the end of next month but has grown up in leaps and bounds the past month or so. She sleeps in a 'big girl bed'. She really didn't have a hard time transitioning from crib to bed after our trip at the beginning of July. She doesn't like her diaper, only Dora or Princess (Disney) underwear. Most days I can put her underwear over her diaper but the days are becoming more frequent when she wants only 'Dora" or "Princess" on. Today is one of those days. I'll take her to the bathroom every 20 minutes. She's been fine today, but I'm not ready for potty training. She just looks so cute with it on and she feels like a big girl.
Ellie knows the names of Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella. She also knows the songs that are associated with Cinderella and Ariel. It's the cutest thing. She LOVES 'pincess' (as she calls it) Dora, Franklin, and Little Bear (the last two are TV shows). I frequently find her sitting on the floor, looking at the kids books - especially Tyler's easy readers.
This fall she'll be my little buddy with the three older ones gone all day at school - well, at least three days a week. The other two days the girls and I will play and go to museums.
Before you think Ellie's super advanced, she has colored on our floor with permanent marker in the last week and continues to climb on the table and throw all the fruit out of the fruit basket.
