So I have fallen off the face of the planet...

Wow it has been a long time since I posted. We have been very busy around here. I went home for two weeks and then came back and then flew to Atlanta for my aunt's 50th b-day, boy was that some fun! Then I started my summer clerkship. It has been a busy month.

Yesterday was Ella Kate's first day at her new day school. She was not such a big fan of me leaving her somewhere new, but when I went to pick her up yesterday she was having a blast. They had just had popsicles on the playground, now what kid does not love popsicles after playing on the playground. Our little girl is growing up..... it is crazy how fast they change. I even had to get her a kindergarten mat for her to sleep on, which she does not like very much considering she napped for only 45 minutes total yesterday.

What I really like about the day school is that when you oick your child up they give you this piece of paper that tells you everything your child did that day. I am talking diapers, food, and then a little note about their personality. I was very happy to see that Ella Kate's note was "Ella Kate loves to give kisses.." Aren't I so lucky to have the kid that loves to give kisses, rather than the one who loves to bite, etc! Now, I am not going to count my chickens before they hatch, because there may be the day that I do get that note, but I am a wishful thinker!

Speaking of all of that, Ella Kate is entering the wonderful toddler world where the independent personality comes out and as my parenting magazine says she starts to "experiment" with disobedience, or hitting or biting, etc. Well Ella Kate has mastered shaking her head "no" (Thanks Moms!). So everything is no! Whether she really means it or not! Oh the joy of toddlerhood! Seriously though, it is really fun! Especially now that summer is here and we can play in the pool or at the park with her! Parenthood is wonderful and we are so blessed!
