By far though, her favorite is reading stories. I am not exaggerating when I say I read them to her for hours during the day. Needless to say I am getting real tired of the stories that we have. Thankfully, the library isn't too far away and my mom has lent me some from her collection. Although, I think it is funny reading Ellie some of the books that were my favorites as a child, because in all honesty they are not that funny or exciting as I once thought.She is also learning the art of the temper tantrum. Oh my goodness. She had a real time out yesterday because of a particularly bad tantrum. It didn't really make her calm down. To anyone that is reading this, does a time out make your child calm down or is it just a consequence for the bad choice that he/she made?
Ellie is also graduated from being swaddled with no apparent problems.
Last but definitely not least, John is officially a MS grad!!! Wahoo!!! It has taken a little less than two years. We went out to Macaroni Grill to celebrate. He is not walking so this is as close as we are coming to a picture with a cap and gown.
