It was so much fun to capture a genuinely surprised and happy expression when she opened our giftt! (even though it was just something from her wish list, she was excited!)
Ella got Aunt Ping's permission to pick "just one" flower from their yard and has taken to doing so every time we got there now. Then she gives it to someone or keeps it and says things like "Oh Mommy! It's SOOOO dutiful! I love flowers!" (and yes, she says dutiful for beautiful)
Ella has also learned where the treats are and Drew and Ping's house (starburst candies) and gets them for herself as congratulations every time she goes to the bathroom there which somehow ends up being 3 or 4 times every time we're there...she's milking this bathroom thing for all it's worth. For instance, today during her rest time in her bed she HAD to go to the bathroom 3 times within about 25 minutes. She knows I'll come running if she yells "Mommy, I have to go potty" and it's a sure fire way to get out of rest time. Arggggg.
So, while we were eating crabs the kids got bored and went inside. Andrew went to check on them and found them in the bathtub, fully clothed, with the water ON!!!! We stripped them down and they had a BLAST.
Dancing, Splashing and screaming at the top of their lungs. Well, Christopher and Ella anyway. Hannah was mostly interested in drinking the water.
SO excited to get to be wild and crazy!
Post bath cuteness :-) Little did they know their new cousin would be coming less than 24 hours later! Can't wait til we have a picture of all 4 cousins together :-) Soon they'll be getting him into all kinds of mischief too :-)
