Dino Puzzle

Ellie was very proud of herself finishing the Dino puzzle on her own.

Ellie Sheep Playing

Ellie was trying to feed the new lambs some grass but the mum sheep wasn’t happy with Ellie being so close and was stomping her foot.  Ellie thought the sheep was playing with her so Ellie started to jump up and down.

Cards from friends

It’s amazing at times to sit back and just watch, unnoticed, at the enjoyment she gets from simple things.

The Ellie didn’t know I was taking this picture of her reading a card from one of her best friends.

Washing Baby

In our house; any reason to play with water is a good reason and if you can put a baby doll, soap, a sponge, and a water bottle in the mix all the better.  Ellie is working hard to keep her bath babies clean.  On this day she ran out of soap and requested more. I can’t remember how this baby bath ended but they usually ends with Ellie taking off some wet, water logged clothes and running around on the grass.

Carpentry

Ellie has been enjoying carpentry at school where she makes airplanes.  On this day, we had some wood left over from our bathroom project and Ellie wanted to do some work.  She hammered the nails into the wood and then inside decided to use the wiggly eyes she had on the wood.  Then Ellie wanted to take a picture and grabbed my phone and without me showing her how to take a picture she simply took a picture.

Rain

While Ellie doesn’t necessarily like the rain; she does love puddles, playing in the water and her new umbrella.

Puzzle Stickers

Victoria was away for the weekend, I was busy vacuuming and Ellie was occupying herself.  Then she came to me and said mom will be happy with her.  I didn’t understand what she was talking about until I looking in the active book she was holding.  Without any instruction, she figured out to count the computers and put the correct number sticker next to each group.
