Here is Ella bustin’ a move to Madagascar’s “Move It, Move It”.

Move It

Ella’s latest obsession is the tv show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. But I think we need to cut back. Yesterday when I asked her to pick up the plate she threw on the ground she told me Oh Toodles was going to do it. I told her she had to go sit in time out until either Ella or Toodles picked up the plate and that I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Oh Toodles to stop by our house.

It’s a bit late, but here are some pictures of Ella taken at Julie’s bridal shower. Ella and her friend Sasha had a great time “helping” Julie open her gifts.

“No mommy, stay there” – that is what Ella told me today when we were at the Strong museum of play. She wanted me to look at different exhibits than where she was playing. She is really starting to assert her independence.
