Life With Ella

Today, we took Ella to the Jelly Belly factory.  We had a lot of fun there.  Ella was really patient and paid attention during the tour.  She wanted to eat a lot of jellybeans and  she had plenty.  On the way home in the car she announced that she wanted to sleep in a big girl bed like Stella and Juliet.  We told her that she could have her big girl bed whenever she wanted.  She then said, “I want it tonight – I want my big girl bed to sleep in tonight”.  We came home and set up her bed (we left the crib in the room just in case it didn’t work out).  Then all of a sudden, Ella said, “No more binkies.  I am a big girl in a big girl bed, no binkies”.  We told her that she could do whatever she wanted, that if she needed her binkie, she could have it until she was 3.  She didn’t really respond. At bed time Ella said, “No more binkies for me” and went to sleep without her binkie!  I found the binkies in the bottom of her crib.  I guess Ella put them there.  Ella is now sleeping soundly in her bed. Ella loves jumping off the steps in our lobby. Welcome to the Jelly Belly factory! Picking up a few things in the gift shop. We had to wear hats on our tour. Barefoot in the grass. Our happy little girl. Aloha. Ella had to change into her “ballet” when we got home. Here is Ella in her big girl bed. WE pushed the ottomans close to her bed so she wouldn’t fall out.
