My China Doll...and My Big Girl!


What sweetness... I know you will agree :) I had to catch these sweet cheeks in a picture. Auntie Ler, this hat is as adorable now as it was when Ellie wore it. (Especially cute when wearing the matching sweater!) I'm so glad we have chilly enough weather to wear them! :) The pattern this week has been for the girls to wake up from their naps, while Aurie stays sleeping, so we've gone out to the front to ride bikes and scooters, then Aurie wakes up, and I bundle her up to watch all the action (which she loves!). She has this wide-eyed look at first (having just woken up) that's just so cute. Things have changed around here in the past couple of months with Aurie's preference for her sisters. Now, they both make her smile, for sure, and it's just so sweet to see her even try to seek out their gaze if she's near. It used to be Lia who was her extra special buddy (with extra special squeezes! ;) but lately, it's Ellie who makes a point of trying to get Aurie to smile, or laugh, and is pretty pleased when she's able to. All I have to do is wear Aurie outwards on her harness and as long as Ellie's skipping beside us, she's laughing and happy as pie.


Here she is...our big girl who went to her first pre-school class today. We decided to try a local community's offering for an hour long pre-school class twice a week, just to have some variety in Ellie's experiences, and she did great! The teacher was impressed that Ellie could write her name (yay!), and Ellie popped right over eagerly when we got there to join in. I knew she'd like the singing and actions- she mimicked right along like she'd always been there. Here she is showing off some things she did today.
