Ellie has been playing with friends ALL weekend. She has been so busy having fun and it is such a joy to just watch her play. She is very kind and nurturing with her pals but is definitely a leader and loves to lead play and initiate new imaginative scenarios. Her current interests are jump rope, hop scotch, dress up (fashion shows specifically and Dan and I have to pretend to be the paparazzi), writing, singing, and playing salon. Her writing is getting so great. She takes my coffee order every morning (for Dan to make me a latte...what a guy) and can actually now write "decaf soy latte." Amazing. She has to write all of our names (Ellie, Dada, Mama, and Jaxie) on everything. I can't keep enough pencils, notepads, etc. in the house! She is a strong writer, reader, storyteller, dancer, and is SO imaginative, articulate, and observant! I am so proud of my little girl. She is a gem.
Ellie putting on "make up." Dan is not too happy with me for encouraging this. He said no make-up until she is older and he thinks 16 is not old enough. He is very serious about this. Yikes. We will see. :)
Jaxie and Ellie going upstairs together. I love how Ellie puts her hand on Jaxie's back. Just cute.
Dan bringing Ellie and Gabby back downstairs
Ring around the rosie...We all fall down! (Jaxie is of course right there in the mix)
