Elise's 2nd birthday, Now with New 2 Attitude!

Welcome to Elise at two!!! She talks really well (at least she thinks she does). Some phrases most commonly used around our house in Feb. was "Hi Momma" "Daddy!!!" "El-Phant" "Where's El-Phant" "Gabba". Since then it has expanded greatly and as of recently she has added. "Can I have Treat?" "Hi Mommy How you?" followed by "I good". There is an a bit of a "I need to go to Church" with a VERY RECENTLY "Hey, Wait a Minute..." She is very polite with a bit of excited when she meets other little ones she calls "Friends". It's hard to understand how she can be so sweet n polite and at the same time say things like "Mommy Stop it." "No No No I SAID..." and as of last week "Shut-UP". Since Elise was turning 2, it was time for a Big Girl bed. I was finally able to drag out all the bedding she got for her first Christmas. She couldn't believe that she got this big bed. Daddy showed her how to use her stool to climb up to her bed. We would hand her a book from her book shelf and she was a happy to go to bed little girl. Over the last several months, when Elise was finished with her book, instead of going to sleep...she would get up and get another book. Before going to bed, I would check on her and find her entire collection of Curious George, Dr. Suess, tucked under her head into her blankets and Under her pillow. When she wakes up she usually has her pink Elephant, her best buddy( who she cuddles roughly and mutters "oh I yove you so Mush") and a book she is ready to read.
We watch Yo Gabba Gabba in the morning and get ready for what ever mommy has to do that day. For her birthday mommy had to make up her own Gabba items because it wasn't anywhere to purchase. (Yo Gabba Gabba is her FAVORITE show on Nick) Daddy went to work on a special cake. On Saturday mornings, Elise has a standing daddy-daughter date that includes a trip to Lowe's and a trip to the Grocery Store. She usually comes away with Juice and String Cheese. Elise has special name's for most of the people she knows well. There is Bogey, Gamma Sanra(sandra), Her Ana, her friends Ernie-Truck(that is what she calls fire trucks since that is what Ernie drives), and Meow(Mel). Her favorite person is her Pa-pa(grandpa). She enjoys going to see him and her Granma House (her grandma, as in "We are at Grandma's House). Sometimes she will walk into their home and yell "HOUSE!", in hopes that Grandma will come running. For the last two weeks Elise has come to sit with me on the couch to watch Gabba, and rubs her head on my arm and Groan "Oooooohhhh momma, I yove you SOOOOOO mush". We love our Elise Violet and feel blessed she brings a smile and sweet spirit in our home.
