My kids are funny. Ella decided to put on Lear's old dragon costume one day. I couldn't get it off of her. Since it's warm and soft, I guess I can't blame her. It's cute, too, of course, although you can't tell if she's a girl or a boy in that thing . I'll need to add a pink bow to it if she decides to wear it next Halloween.The picture of the tricycle is art. Really. I let the kids play outside one day while we were waiting for Cory to come home, and they passed the time by decorating Ella's tricycle with natural found objects. It had pine cones in the spokes, leaves stuck in the steering wheel, and sticks hanging off it everywhere. I had to take pictures to preserve their creation, since we couldn't leave it out.
The last two pictures are of Ella and her little cousin Danika. Nana had Dani for the day, and had to come to our place to pick up the leaf blower that we borrowed from them, and the kids played together for a little bit while they were here. Dani's mother will probably be bugged by the picture of her giving my cat Cosy kisses, since they're hard core kitty haters at their house, so I'll make her a deal: I'll teach your kids to like cats, and I'll let you teach mine to love big dogs (since I think they're intimidating and am unconsciously passing that on). Sounds fair, huh? I really had fun watching the girls play together, and I really hope that they grow up to be great friends. I was never able to form any close relationships with my own cousins, and I have always been jealous of how close Cory, Bryce, and Devin are to theirs. We need to have more playdates, Carolee!
Lear quote: "This is my dream day, Mommy!" Said while we were setting up Ella's big girl bed in her own room. I guess he's happy they're not sharing a room anymore...
Ella quote: "Mommy, I wuvoo! I wuv your arm, too." I swear that if I could detach my arm and give it to Ella, she would never miss the rest of me.
One last thing - Lear went all night without a diaper, and for the first time, didn't wet the bed! We haven't been pushing him, and have been letting him choose to wear a diaper to sleep or underwear. So, last night he chose underwear, and he made it! I'm one step closer to being diaper-free! I can't wait for Ella to give them up, too. We're not pushing her, either, but I think the day she choses to go sans-diaper is coming soon.

We didn't force Marit either and when she was ready, she was all the way ready. She just decided one day to put on unders and never has had an accident.
You are so funny! I'm not bugged that Dani likes your kitty. Truth be told, Bryce is the cat hater more than me. I just don't like cats that think they own the house and get up on the counters, etc. Anyway, thanks for letting Dani come play! When Cory came by last night Dani kept saying, "Ella? Ella?" I think we've got a couple of good little buddies on our hands.
