Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. Ella has had 2 great days.. It seems like her communication skills are getting better by the minute. At night, before Ella goes to sleep she likes to read books with Sunny and then she comes into our room and likes to watch her movies that I post, on the computer. Tonight, I showed her a movie from Strike Out Violence Day. In a part of the movie, I show Lou Seal (the Giant’s mascot). When Ella saw Lou Seal, she began to cry. A few minutes later, Sunny came into the room and I asked Ella to tell Mommy what happened when she saw Lou Seal. Ella said, “I cried when I saw Lou Seal”. I asked her to tell mommy why she cried and she thought about it for a minute and then she said, “Because I want to huggie Lou Seal”. She was so clear about her needs – it was pretty cool.
This is from yesterday when it was raining. Ella came in from being in the rain and ran to her easel to draw without taking her jacket off. I guess she had something in mind to draw and she didn’t want to forget it.
Here is Ella with a dirty face from eating noodles and a big smile because she’s eating a banana like Boots the monkey from Dora
This is Ella’s new trick – supporting herself with her arms. She kept saying, “Hey Mommy – look at this, hey mama look at this!”
Ella calls this shirt her ladybug shirt
We took this picture tonight right before we went out with the doggies to take a walk around the ballpark
