The kids have decided 5:30 is a good wake up time. Not so good with Mom. Hence, they have teamed up to watch Mickey on youtube in the mornings while I am coaxed out of bed.
Who got into the brownie batter?
They are still sleeping beautifully together. We set up the video monitor and find great entertainment in watching the two of them fall asleep. One night Willem crashed quickly and we see Ellie just sitting there moving his head back and forth, back and forth. Didn't wake him at all.
They are becoming two peas in a pod.
One morning before school, Willem decided we were the pig family and pigs like to play in the mud. So after a failed attempt to create mud in our backyard, we headed to the garden. Once the mud was in place, Willem enjoyed it for a few minutes but Ellie went to town.
Ellie has declared my old purse hers and wants to take it with us anywhere we go. It's about as big as she is and requires that she hold her arm up to keep it from falling off her shoulder, but she is thrilled. As you can see, she dressed herself and decided it was time for us to go somewhere. She does not like being left behind.
Ellie's beautiful smile. She is so full of love and concern for others. Always there comforting Willem if he's upset and has taken to giving kisses and hugs goodbye. If Willem and I have been at violin or somewhere without her, when we get home she runs to Willem and gives him a hug. She's also starting to talk up a storm. She can say duck now and will play duck duck goose if she sees people sitting down for awhile. She's starting to sing whole songs without the words. She'll sing twinkle twinkle saying dada the whole time but is in tune. It's really interesting to see how her personality and talents shine through more and more. We love you Ellie!
