Ella at 3
Since there are only two weeks left that Ella is 3 I wanted to post this little book she made at school about herself! It's pretty self explanatory and the poem on the last page gets me choked up every time!

Random Adorableness
I've been saving both of these pictures for a week or so but they don't really fit with anything else so here you go-two ADORABLE moments with my soon-to-be-three year old. I'm getting nostalgic and teary about her birthday coming so there will probably be lots more gushing over Ella in the weeks to come. Be prepared :-)
So, Ella's cousins, Amy, and our friend Erin were here for dinner after the apple picking adventure and were trying to find Ella to say good bye. This is where we found her...
what is she doing you ask? Flossing. With the entire box of floss on one end and about 3 feet of floss pulled out on the other side. I did not teach her this!
A couple days later, for various episodes of bad behavior, Ella lost all of her bedtime books. She was horrified and begged to take a book into her bed. I told her that was fine but that I was still going to turn out the light. She again seemed horrified and I felt bad for her. I said she could use her gloworm to see but she said it's not bright enough. Thinking quickly, I offered her a flashlight and gave her some instructions (turning it off when she's done etc.). She was thrilled and happily snuggled under the covers and started to read. I had to take a picture. Isn't this what big kids do? It just seems so grown up to me! She melts my heart.

The park
Fun day at the park with Hol and Hope :-) They introduced us to a new park with a 4 tiers of playgrounds to play on plus a farm! We'll definitely be going back.
While Holly and I chatted with her neighbor Ella got a book from the car and settled in next to a tree to wait out the boring adult conversation. I LOVE that she LOVES books!
feeding goats
Hope is getting to be a playground pro!
During our picnic, they may have gotten a little too excited. Ella was squeezing Hope to give her a slightly too loving hug and Hope was pointing and saying "eye! eye!" while poking Ella....oh these girls
