Halloween

This year I decided I would actually go to a little effort and get Ella a costume together. She went as a kitten, who lost (and subsequently found) her mittens. She loved the idea of it when we tried it on a few days before.

For the trunk or treat Daniel and I went as the other two kittens who lost their mittens. Unfortunately, Ella decided she wanted no part of it. Never fear. We just told everyone she was a crazy cat lady.

She was also hyped up for trick or treating all through dinner, but once the time came she stopped at two houses before starting to melt down. Life with  toddler.

Ella's Fall Adventures

Fall has been warm and sunny here in Texas! The leaves did change colors and fall from the trees. One day we made a cool leaf picture!

We went to a new park and saw a "kitty house"

We went to a fun fall sign language storytime and sang lots of songs about pumpkins. We even learned how to say pumpkin in sign language. With the coordinators directions, we made fall sensory rice.

Things We Don't Want to Forget

The are lots of somethings that we are going to forget, but there a few things that I don't want buried in the sands of time -- lost forever.

Ella has decided that only Daddy can be awesome. If you say "Ella is awesome." She will retort,"No, Daddy awesome!"

Ella has started to say "Pretty! Thank you!" When we give her a new surprise that she likes.

She has also started to say," No thank you " when she doesn't want somethin

She calls her Pooh Bear "Mama Pooh Cat"

She likes to yell "Run way" and then proceeded to run away. She runs back with open arms when I squat down with my arms open wide and yell,"Can I have a hug?"
