Thanks to Mimi and Papa, Ellie and James now have their very own picnic table outside. This adorable table and umbrella arrived from the Land of Nod the other day and I put it together after E&J went to bed one night. They were thrilled to christen it with cereal the next morning. Ellie said, "Now we don't have to sit with Mommy and Daddy when we eat outside." Nice. Maybe John and I will be joining them at their table...
Exciting things happening in our house: Ellie began dance lessons last week and James now sleeps in a bed. When I call Ellie's class "ballet", she'll correct me and tell me it's "creative movement." She seems to enjoy it and the only person crying at drop off was James because he wants to be with his big sis at all times. We had to buy James a new big boy bed because he was catapulting himself out of his crib. It's been an adjustment but he seems pleased with it. We're painting his room blue (finally) this month.
