In the car the other day I noticed Ella talking to her doll. After some time playing she took the doll and began to shake her finger at it saying "No, No, No!" It was a sad moment when I realized my own parenting style through the honest imitative play of my two year old... ouch! I guess we do say "no" a lot. As sad as it was, it was also pretty adorable. Ella's doing a lot of adorable things these days. She doesn't say "yes" as much as she likes to say "okay" but the K sounds like a T. "Otay Mommy". She says many words and tonight during dinner I think what she was saying was "Mommy, watch this" as she skillfully stabbed her noodles with her fork and shoveled them in to her mouth. She preceeds every phrase with "mommy" even if I'm not in the room.
Ella loves to dance and will do a cross between a gallop and a hop as she goes around the room listening to Christmas music. She really loves the Miley Cyrus song "I put my hands up, they're playing my song... " During that line she puts her hands up and "raises the roof" as her daddy taught her.
So that's my update on my little Miss. She's learning so much every day. I've already had my Christmas tree ornaments re-arranged several times by her little hands and she loves going around saying "Snowman", "Star", and "Mismas" for Christmas. You just have to love Christmas through the eyes of a child. Now if only I can find something to say to her besides "no" so she doesn't go around disciplining her dolls that way too.

ella is so adorable! i wish we were coming east this holiday so we could see you all!
What a cute little girl! That's so funny that she likes Miley Cyrus, haha! Anyway, this next year is gonna be so fun for you guys. They call them the "terrible twos," but I have to disagree. There are, of course bad moments, but I think the age from 2 to 3 is so much fun! Their language EXPLODES, and they become so much more independent. It's so fun to watch your kids learn and grow!
So cute, I love the age she is in, there are so much fun. Oh and that Miley Cyrus song is called: "Party In The USA." :-) That is a big hit around this house as well.
Oh, so cute! This is my favorite age in a lot of ways. Sounds like she is talking a lot! So fun. I understand about the 'no' thing. Brecken says 'no' even when he means yes. So, now, he's starting to say 'no, yes' when he means yes.
Love it, love it, love it! When are we going to see you guys again? She's getting so big!
Thanks so much for the update. I can actually visulize (sp) her doing all that stuff and it makes me miss her sooo much. It will be a sweet reunion when we finally get to see her!! Here I am already looking forward to summer!
