Where's Ellie??


Ellie has turned into quite the climber. She loves to climb in chairs, on stools, on toys, and on tables!!! She scooted one of the little rocking chairs up to the coffee table and climbed right on top. It is one of her new favorite spots!

Build A Bear!


Emmary loves Build A Bear. She asks to go all the time. However, that is only a special occasion place! We are planning on taking her for her birthday and she can hardly wait. So, the girls have a new game they have been playing the last few weeks- Build A Bear! At Build A Bear you get to pick your animal, stuff your animal, fluff your animal, and dress your animal. Emmary's favorite part is the fluffing you get to do in the "bathtub" at Build A Bear. So, I found Emmary and Ellie in the bathtub bathing all the "animals" they had made the other day. They were both having the best time. However, they now have to use a pretend bathtub to bathe their animals.

Wonderpets!!


Emmary and Ellie both like to watch the Noggin channel on television. Lately they have been showing a little 3 minute program about how to make Ming Ming Duck from the Wonderpets cupcakes. Well, Emmary has been begging to make these cupcakes and I have been slack and not gotten the needed supplies. So Emmary took it upon herself to create her own Ming Ming "cupcakes' the other day while I was sweeping. She got one of our old cookie sheets, a bag of shredded cheese, and some blueberries and blackberries. She used the blueberries and blackberries to make Ming Ming's "features." Emmary was so excited and proud of her creation! However, she did not want to eat it.

Go Ellie Go!


Ellie loves to drive the princess "car" around the house. When Emmary rides her trike around the house, Ellie is sure to be right behind her. She can go pretty fast too! She is also into dress up right now. Ellie loves to put on crowns, necklaces, aprons, and other people's shoes!! She also loves to try to put on Emmary's clothes. She is learning quickly and can put on (and take off!!!!) bottoms.
