Ellie has taken to a bath-time classic: giving yourself a bubble beard. It tied in nicely with Christmas. Continue reading “Ellie and her bubble beard”

Ellie makes us laugh, whether she tries to or not
Ellie’s Christmas lights [VIDEO]
Last weekend, we thought we’d treat Ellie by putting up some Christmas lights in her room. This is the big reveal and Ellie was so excited to look at each light. It’s now the first thing she does every morning.

A Florida girl
The other day, the temperature plummeted to about 65 degrees (18 degrees Celsius) and Ellie decided that she needed to wear a hat. She’s a Florida girl through and through.

You are my sunshine [VIDEO]
Ellie is getting good at learning songs now and will treat us to a rendition every once in a while. That’s not to say that there isn’t the occasional hiccup. Continue reading “You are my sunshine [VIDEO]”
Favourite part of your day?
Ellie, what was your favourite part of today?
Um… me.
A throwback to a day gone by
We pulled out a little chair that Ellie used to use for Jack, since he is about ready to start sitting up, but as soon as Ellie saw it, she wanted back in it. She’s definitely a bit bigger than when she was last in it but she ate dinner in it nonetheless. Continue reading “A throwback to a day gone by”
Ellie loves Jet
We have been testing out Jet for a few months now and we love it. As a thank you for being one of their earliest members, they sent us some “gear” to help spread the word. But someone got to my socks and t-shirt before I could… Continue reading “Ellie loves Jet”
Hippopotamus
Ellie’s vocabulary and diction is so good that she rarely misses a word. However, she tried saying “hippopotamus” the other day and couldn’t quite get it, so we got lots of cute attempts like this: Continue reading “Hippopotamus”
I like that song, in the whole world, and ever [VIDEO]
When your child starts learning phrases like “in the whole world” and “forever and ever”, you can get some hilarious results when they start adding them into sentences haphazardly.
While demonstrating the songs on Jack’s fox, she described them all and then went on to tell us about the piano song:
I like that song, in the whole world, and ever

When the timer goes off! [VIDEO]
This one falls into the category of “things that you laugh at that you shouldn’t laugh at”.
Ellie started up her swimming lessons again this week (after her first round last summer). While she was effectively learning how not to drown last year, this year the plan is to get some movement going. She loves the water and she enjoys going in the pool at home, but she is not a fan of going to swimming lessons. She cries at the sight of her swimming costume and generally cries throughout the whole lesson.
In an effort to calm Ellie down on her first day, Miss T told Ellie that she would be finished when the timer goes off (as each lesson is just 10 minutes long), encouraging her that it wouldn’t be long until it was over. However, this snowballed out of control and now after every dunk beneath the water, she comes up crying and yelling “When the timer goes off!”. Every time. Without fail. I think she’s the only one that doesn’t see the funny side (yet). Continue reading “When the timer goes off! [VIDEO]”
