Let's see...so last I posted...it was Ella's first night in her "big girl" bed....well we're 10 days into it and it has been just fine. Not even one issue in getting her to stay in her bed! Yay! Even nap-time she does just fine and stays in her bed.
Last Sunday....we got up and had breakfast...and she wanted to read her magazine while eating her banana :)
We then went to the early service at church. Josh headed to work after church. And Ella and I went to the lake. Grandpa had to work too....so it was just the girls. We had lunch and went to the pool, and of course Sweet Frog.
Monday - our sitter was on vacation this past week....and wouldn't you know it....our back-up sitter was on vacation the VERY SAME week! So ummm....what to do now?? Well a co-worker of mine was in the same boat as I was....no sitter (her daughter goes to the "back-up" sitter) - so we "hired" another co-workers daughter to watch our two little girls! Kimberly is her name....and she has been around the both of them a handful of times...so she wasn't a complete stranger! :) Well those girls had fun!!
Ella and Payton as princesses!
Born to shop! (notice the purses!)
Everyday this week...Ella has asked about going to Payton's house....I think she had a fun week last week!
Josh has his week at Liberty this week for his intensive class...he said so far it hasn't been awful....but the next 3 days are going to be brutal. He has to be there at 7am tomorrow for an exam. And then they are assigned a case that is all group work. And the professor said don't expect to be done until 3 or 4am and then they have to be back at 8am to present it. And they do it all over again on Thursday. He is very eager for the next few days to be over!
I think Ella's vocabulary/knowledge grows everyday! Today on the way to the sitter's...Ella counted to 5 all by herself...without any prompting from me! I was impressed! She can sing part of "no more monkey's jumping on the bed." She sometimes is a little hard to understand...I can usually make out most of what she is saying....and she is very determined...sometimes I have to keep guessing words trying to figure out what she is saying...but she knows what she is trying to say and won't stop until I say the right word! I sometimes have to interpret for Josh...he says..."I have no idea what she is saying!"
This past weekend was kind of a lazy weekend...which we all enjoyed! I did do the normal cleaning. And I rearranged some things in Ella's room....brought more toys in there....trying to get some of our living room back! :) We went to the grocery store...and Josh picked out a special cart for Ella to ride in...it's the one that has the car attached to the front of the cart....well oh did she think she was hot stuff driving that cart around....thanks Josh! I told him he started something bad...because now she will always want that....and that thing is hard to steer! I told him she can only ride in it when he's with us!
We've been bribing Ella to eat her dinner...that's so bad isn't it! We started a bad trend...but if she eats all of her dinner (fruits and veggies included) she gets a little treat....mainly it's the tiniest bit of ice cream with sprinkles...it's really about 2 tablespoons of ice cream...so I don't feel too guilty...and she thinks she's spoiled with her little treat!
Well...time to go fold laundry and Josh is crying because he wants a brownie....and he did eat all of his dinner...so he can have a treat too! :)
