Ellie Helping Again

Ellie was excited to help me once again remove the final bit of carpet in the house.  She was expert this time, reminding off all the staples I missed and was happily instructing me on how to roll up the carpet.   She was also in charge of our music selection which did take up a lot of her time.

Ellie’s Style

Ellie keeps herself and all her dolls up in the latest fashion.

We’re not ready for this!

There have been a few morning lately, that you will hear laughing and playing in Cooper’s room.  Then you realize that Ellie has gotten herself in Cooper’s cot, at least Cooper is still contained.  Over the next few days, you could hear them talking and planning but nothing would happen, until this happened!  They were both so proud of their achievement and happily recreated the scene for a few pictures.

Headphones

Ellie was excited when she found her travel headphones.  She now will use them when Cooper is taking a nap to listen to music without bothering anyone.  She is getting so grown  up!

Cooper’s Climbing

Look who can climb up in Ellie’s bed now!  Poor Ellie this was here one spot to get away from Cooper.  While they enjoyed this time together, Cooper has not been allowed to continue his climbing on Ellie’s bed and with all of Ellie’s dolls, stuffed animals and other important things her bed is usually completely filled.

Preparing

Our bathroom renovation is complete and we are getting ready to replace our old carpet with new wood laminate floors.  We had to move everything out and the kids loved running around the empty house.  Ellie wanted to help take up the carpet, so during Cooper’s nap we let here help.  She made funny shapes as the underlay was pulled up.  She then named a few of them before scraping them up.  She also pointed out all the staples I missed.  Once Cooper was up, Ellie had Cooper throwing out all the little scraps she scraped up.  Once they finished their part they both took my phone and sat in their new fort outside!  Ellie was excited for this one time only to write on her floor and leave a message for some future person.
