In the past week, Ella has made 2 decisions on her own. The first one is that she decided that she doesn’t need a night time diaper anymore. One night, she simply said, “I can sleep in my underwear, I don’t need a diaper” and that was it. So far, no accidents. Her other decision was about her pacifiers. On Sunday night, she took a handful of pacifiers, walked to her bathroom, opened the garbage can and threw them away. “I am a big girl, I don’t need my binkies anymore”. Well…that was a really great idea and she is working on it, but Ella had trouble falling asleep and woke up in the middle of the night for 2 nights. Tonight, I gave her a pacifier to fall asleep because we all need some sleep. Ella told me that the binky fairy needs to come soon to take the last binky away. Maybe we’ll try it on the weekend. It’s so amazing that Ella feels confident enough to make her own life choices. We love it.
This picture is from last week when the weather was beautiful. We were out with the Kim/Arenas and stopped by the ballgame. Sunny and Ella went into the free area and watched a few batters.
Ella calls the steps in our building the secret stairwell and sometimes likes to take it in the morning on the way to school.

Fun with chopsticks at Nama.
Just want to give a happy birthday shout out to Nikki B. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a beautiful day.
Adorable. I touched my eyes. We slept in your room in the sofa-bed last night because it was the only cool room in the house. Very comfortable. Tell Sunny I slept until 8. Love you. Mom
