Ella Shay Friend

I am in such awe of Ella and how much she changes and grows. She enlightens us with a new adventure every day. She is now interested in her 18 month old cousin, Natalie. She would touch and grab Natalie and try to steal her toys. Natalie does not care for it-LOL. Children can make a toy out of anything! Ella plays with plastic dishes, credit cards, cell phones, ipods, water bottles, and more. She even plays in or under toys, baskets, and furniture. She even enjoyed playing with boy toys. Her cousins Ethan and Joseph have fun things to play with-or should I say eat? She now sits on her push rider and enjoyed riding her cousin's bounce and spin zebra. She is quit the explorer. We call her "Ella the Explorer" (or sing it to the Dora tune). She especially loves to play in the dog's water dish. Ella has a taste for expensive foods: fuzz, dust, cat food, crumbs, and anything else she finds on the floor. I enjoy observing her new talents. She makes me smile! She is keeping me busy this summer, but we are having fun!
