So yes....Ela is going to be two. This is new news to me.
I was leaving the park the other day and Ela started crying "slide Ela do slide" and joking around I said " oh Ela it must be hard to be one". Another Mom said wow she talks alot for one. I was like well... really she is 20 months, and she replied well then she is almost two. HOLLY CRAP! She is almost two! I have been so used to saying she is "x" amount of months for her whole life. Not anymore, soon to be just plain old two. Little Ela and all of her sassy ways are almost two!
So what does the life of an "Almost 2 year old" entail....ELMO! This pretty much her world these days! (Literaly Elmo's World...Lalalala)

The only person that can even come close to Elmo is Ela's best friend Mackensie. Mac will be two in just a few days and Ela is obsessed. They are best friends and Ela even voluntaraily shares Elmo with him and Mac shares his trains with her.(Early love) She even calls for him at night when she can't sleep. They go to the same school and get to play everyday. Thats not enough...they also play most weekends and go to the park after school too.

When Ela is not dreaming of Elmo and playing with Mac, she is growing up to be quite the little girl each day. We have been potty training very well(2 times a day), self feeding without much of a mess, putting on her own shoes, playing "Mommy" to her baby,singing ABC's and the Elmo song , immitating animal sounds, and just plain talking our ears off. One of her favorite things to do recently is "Where's Ela"
Check out her video at the beach with her Grandparents!
