Ellie also had her first "play date" at our house. The neighbors asked us to watch their daughter, Anya, who is two while mom and big brother went on a preschool field trip. Ellie had a fun time playing, though she has definitely developed a sense of "MINE!" She did not like when Anya, who also has a well developed sense of "MINE!" would take something she was playing with. Ellie would look at her and scream!
During bath time Ellie has discovered the bucket we use to rinse off her head. She holds onto the bucket and pushes it under water, watching it fill up. She has even put one of her toys in it and taken it back out again. This is very fun to watch. It is also fun for Ellie... until bath time is over and mean old Mama takes it away... then the screaming begins (remember her newly developed sense of "MINE").
Ellie has a new favorite toy. It is called freezer paper. She loves to crinkle it, and the great part about it is that the paper is plastic lined, so she can't break off little pieces and chew on them. I know, this probably makes me a bad parent. At least we have moved on from letting her play with sandwich bags...
Finally, I took a picture of (almost) all of the kiddos that live on our alley. These are the munchkins Ellie plays with each evening while we all wait for the daddies to get home from work. If all these kids end up staying in the neighborhood this will be a great shot for them to look at when they all get to high school!
Singing!
