Gene was so excited to get Ella a soccer goal! Unfortunately, all Ella ever wants to do outside it swing!! She insists Mommy pushes with two hands. High maintenance diva even when it comes to swinging! The t-shirt says it all. Soon she will need a shirt that says I'm SOOO three!




We have not even celebrated Ella's 3rd birthday yet, and we are already experiencing the Terrible Threes!!! I am quickly realizing just how easy I had it for the past few years. Now I am dealing one hard-headed little girl. She can go from sweet and loving to rotten and screaming in just seconds. Good thing we love her throughout the good, bad, and ugly!

Desperate the battles, Ella is becoming the quite a smart and beautiful little girl. She has already been singing her ABC's and working on counting to ten. She is even learning the sounds that the letters make and identify each letter. She loves to sing!! It is so sweet to watch her performances. She loves watching any show that involves singing and dancing. Ella is still attending tumbling classes at daycare.

Dramatic play continues to be quite popular at our house. Ella is rarely without a baby doll or stuffed animal. Her purse, cell phone, and keys are her necessities and even go to the grocery store with us. It cracks me up when she shows me a supposed picture of her baby on her cell phone or pretends to text message. Hmmm....I wonder where she learned that?! She is definitely my Mini Me. The other day she was playing with her play kitchen blender and informed me that she was making margaritas. Apparently I need to be setting a better example!
