Ella Pants,
Mommy just couldn't slow time down!! We celebrated TWO, and now we are in the midst of planning to celebrate THREE. I cannot wrap my mind around how quickly time is flying and how you are growing up into such a precious little girl right before my eyes. You have BLESSED my life in so many ways this year. I count my greatest blessing to be the relationship we have formed and you finally becoming Mommy's Little Girl!! From one to two, I was briefly removed from your precious little life. It was during this time when you developed such a strong bond with your daddy. Don't get me wrong, I was so glad you two were so close, but my heart would break a little each time you would choose your daddy over me. Wow... Things are so different now, and even though I complain at times, I wouldn't trade the precious moments of you insisting on mommy brushing your teeth, mommy getting you dressed, mommy brushing your hair, mommy putting on your shoes, and mommy putting on your coat for ANYTHING!
You have such a sweet, calm temperment. You are such a people pleaser, which is so different from your brother who his strong willed. You heart breaks a little and tears pour out of your eyes when you think someone is "mad" at you. I LOVE picking you up from school each day to read the kind notes Ms. Ashley leaves me. She always comments on how you played with your friends, helped clean up, and were kind to others. I pray that as you continue to grow, you will hold on to that precious personality that you have now!
I am so proud of all of the accomplishments you had this past year. You FINALLY gave up your baa baa! I didn't think that day would ever come. I guess there is ONE positive to the nasty stomach virus you had at the time. I have to admit I fibbed a little when I said the bottle would make you sick again! Despite the small white lie, you believed me and that was the end to the baa baa. Your vocabulary developed so rapidly. You would amaze me each day with the words and phrases that would come out of your mouth. I have to admit that I find your personal pronoun confusions absolutely precious! I love to hear, "Him is mad at me", "Z, I want to go to you house", "Him is saying booger"! Your developed a GREAT love for books this year. You will sit in Mommy's lap for a long time and listen to me read. You have your favorite books of course and insist that I read them "again" and "again". Finally, I would have to say the accomplishment that I feel a little sad over is that you officially potty trained yourself. You beginning to use the potty made me realize that you definitely aren't a little baby anymore. You were so easy to potty train. You started on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving Break, and were in panties at school on the following Monday.
Ella Roo... Ella Pants... Ella Mae... Roo, you are an AMAZING little girl! You are such a truly a BLESSING. I realize time is NOT going to slow down. I pray that God will SLOW ME down though, so that over the next year I can enjoy every single second of your life! I love you to the moon... and back!!!
