in a desperate attempt to get up-to-date, i have decided to just post stuff regardless of whether or not it is edited or has pictures. :) i'll do better when the opera is over.
this is ella's reading of "it's potty time" :
"ok. sit on da potty...a poop da pee....den do da paper. put da paper in da potty den FWUSH!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!! now wash dee hangs, a paper right dere in a twash, a happy dancing, mama and dada so pwoud of me!"
(the part about the paper in the trash is ad lib--all that practice in the ladies' room really did sink in).
happy dancing consists of stomping feet and twirling around. followed by lots of laughing and a drink from the water fountain.
hopefully, pictures next time.
