Elise's personality is really starting to come out. She wants to be just as independent as Bailee, has an opinion about many things (however we don't always understand what she says), she loves music (kid songs, Geronimo, my house, or hey brother are some of her favorites), and she loves to share her testimony when we do it for FHE. Dave recorded one on his phone earlier this week. She wants to do school just like Bailee so we practice writing letters or identifying colors, shapes, etc to help her feel included. She is convinced she can read now and I just love her excitement about learning and looking at books. Right now we have a huge shark book from the library and she wants to hold all of the creatures in it. We have a playground behind our backyard fence and at dinner tonight she said "I will save it for later" and jumped down from the table and told us she was going to play with the kids that were out there. The kids were probably 3rd or 4th grade so we told her she needs a few years before playing with them. She likes to talk about her friends in nursery and is devastated if we forget the picture she colored in class. She is growing up and I have decided my favorite kid stage is the toddler years. I love the ideas she comes up with and her excitement for life. It is infectious and sweet.
We got this ponytail at bedtime and it felt like a milestone of growing up! Just don't grow too fast!
