Ellie Turns 2

I can't believe that Ellie is already 2 years old, and how fast she is growing and changing. Ellie surprises me daily with her incredible memory and her dynamic personality. Here are some of the most notable things about Ellie at 2 years old.

  • She provides herself with a running commentary all day long. "Watch out Ellie" "Careful Ellie" "Sorry Ellie" "Oh, what is it? It's a (fill in the blank)" etc.
  • She loves singing songs. She knows all the words to "You Are My Sunshine," and most of the words to the other songs we sing: "If You're Happy and You Know It," "Popcorn Popping," "I Am a Child of God," "Old McDonald," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Hush Little Baby," "Do As I'm Doing," "Clean Up" and others. I often hear her on her own sing snatches of any of these songs to herself. The cutest is when she sings "Clean up"
  • She remembers and repeats everything.
  • She loves reading. She has her favorite books memorized and will "read" you the story. 
  • She is becoming more outgoing and loves going to nursery. She also had her first neighborhood babysitter (while she was awake) and did great!
  • She still loves to be outside and would prefer to play outside than anywhere else.
  • She loves to run and is full of energy. 
  • She is goofy and has a real sense of humor. 
  • She likes watching and playing basketball with Dad.
