Ellie at 2 years (and 4 months!):
-Still obsessed with Mickey Mouse. In fact, the other night I heard roll over in her bed, yell out “Oh Tooooodles!” then roll back to sleep.
-Sings. All the time. Her favorite songs to sing are I am a Child of God, Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and I Love to See the Temple. She also makes up songs for everything she’s doing. “Playing in the snow, playing in the snow, OH, OH, playing in the snow!” or “Taking a bath, taking a bath, OH, OH!” They are always to the same tune, never without the OH OH, and it’s adorable.
-Still loves veggies, fruit, and beans. But still does not want to eat any meat. We try to sneak it into some of her foods (spaghetti sauce, etc) but she manages to pick it out every time!
-Wants a peanut butter sandwich every day for lunch. But don’t cut it into the wrong shape, she won’t eat it! 😉 This week she prefers squares, but last week it was triangles.
-Every time I say “oh man!” or “ouch!” she pats me on the back and says “Tell me what’s wrong. It’s going to be alright.”
-Loves to play with blocks and Legos, baby dolls, and her little people town.
-Holds up one finger with her other hand on her hip and says “Ah-HA! I have a good idea!”
-Generous with her hugs, kisses, and “Love you’s!”
-Begs to go to school all the time. Especially since visiting her preschool she’ll be attending in the fall.
-Tells me I either have a baby boy or a baby elephant in my tummy. 🙂
Oh Ellie, you light up our life!
she is ADORABLE!!!
Haha, I would hope it's not a baby elephant! Sounds like labor would be a little rough… 😉
Cute! I hope it's not an elephant, you would be pregnant for years. Gotta love the Mickey Mouse though; my son yells out "oh toodles" in his sleep all the time. hahaha
be still my soul. that photo of her is beyond gorgeous. how do you handle her cuteness?!?!?
also her little toooodles hollering?! way way too cute!
She's seriously adorable. I would probably explode from all of the cuteness.
Such a fun age! She is such a doll! I'm excited to hear how preschool goes in the fall! I'm not ready to take the plunge yet but I'm looking forward to hearing your/her experience!
