Climbing

Swinging is not the only place Ellie likes to go higher.  She is getting much better at climbing up and finally knows how to climb down.  She hasn’t figured out how to swing her leg over the fence yet, but it is only a matter of time.  I hope that she can wait a little longer so the ground can soften with the rain before she tries.

Swinging

Like every kid, Ellie loves to swing.  It doesn’t matter if it is a rope, a baby swing, a big girl swing, or a tire. What does matter is she needs to go high, higher than Mummy or Daddy will push her!

Ellie’s Playground

Completed

Most kids only dream of having a personal playground, but not Ellie.  This was our Christmas holiday project and thanks to our neighbor and family for helping put this together.  Ellie and her friends have been enjoying the playground and I am sure it will continue to get plenty of use.

Cooking

If you're hungry, just ask chef Ellie to whip you up one of her special dishes.

Daddy's Work

Last Monday, Ellie went on a field trip to my work.   She was busy helping me type out an email.

She also helped Alana do a little colouring on the Baselight.  (She actually crashed the system once, also)  She was not very talkative when I was around, but Alana told me later that Ellie talked a lot when I left.

Roaming

Ellie was last spotted chasing the cat while eating raisons in front of our house.

Outside

Sun, rain, or wind won’t stop Ellie from going outside to play and visit Apona.  If you look closely, Ellie has a tape measure in her hand.  

Easter Eggs

Ellie helped put 6 eggs into a pot (“Gently” was repeated many times) and then watched as we filled the pot with water.  She then noted “fire” as I started to heat up the water on the stovetop.  The next morning as she was reading quietly up stairs I prepared the egg surprise for her.  She was excited to see all the colours and eggs on her little table.  I did the first half of an egg to show her how it was done then let her go. Each egg went into each colour at least twice. 

Daddy found out quite quickly that food colouring doesn’t easily come off your fingers.  Oops!  Mummy reminded Daddy that Ellie and I were suppose to use spoons and not fingers to take the eggs out of the dye!

Morning Hair

No need for any description, the picture says it all.
