I feel like I haven’t written much about Elise lately and she has grown and changed so much in the past few months; so here is goes. She turned 18 months in November and finally got to go with her sister to the nursery class at church. This is the pic I took of her on her first day of nursery.
It was kind of funny. Before church I told Anna that Elise was old enough to go to nursery with her and I asked her if she would show Elise where to go and teach her everything about nursery and she was excited to do so. After Sacrament meeting I told Elise she was going to get to go to nursery today, and she didn’t wait, she took of running down the hall, between people, straight to the nursery. Anna was trying to catch up yelling. “wait!”
When Elise got to the nursery before Anna, Anna had a meltdown, because she wanted to help Elise go to the nursery. So I had to go get Elise and bring her back to Anna. Anna took Elise by the hand and walked her into the nursery with her. It was cute. They were excited to be together at church and it is fun they were in the same class.
One day in Nov. I got Anna a little tutu I found at the thrift store. Anna, loved it. It was her first frilly type skirt. She wore it every day, all day long, and would not take it off for anything; except I made her take it off to got to bed. I think Elise was a little jealous because one morning we found her in her bed sleeping with it over her footy pajamas. It was so funny. She must have woken up in the middle of the night and put it on and went back to sleep so she would be first to have it on in the morning.
She also loves to put on anyone's socks and shoes that she finds lying around. Elise love to put things on. Sometimes I will find her going through the dresser drawers putting on pants on top of pants and several shirt around her neck and multiple skirts on at the same time. In this picture I think she was wearing 4 skirts.
Elise loves her sister. She does her best to keep up with Anna and at times leads the way and shows Anna how to go down the slides and up the jungle gyms. She talks in one word sentences, but gets her point across good and clear. She now also can hold her own against Anna when she needs to, though she she is very sweet and loves her sister dearly. If Anna isn’t around she always asks, “Anna?” One day we got home from the store and Anna didn’t want to come in so I let her stay in the car for a few minutes while I brought Elise in along with the groceries. When we got inside Elise started crying and pointing to the door in much distress saying, “Anna, Anna, Anna!” Lately, Anna and her have been actually been really playing together for the first time and laughing and having fun.
It was so sad. A few weeks ago the girls both got fevers and coughs and were just not feeling well. Elise looked like this for about 3 days.
Oh and another thing that has happened is last month Elise moved from a crib to a big her bed. . Every time we put her in her crib she would climb out and then we realized that if we left then crib rails down she would stay in. She just did not like to be trapped and confined anymore. So she was moved into a twin bed along side Anna and was very happy about it.
Elise’s favorite thing to wear is her lady bug dress that her grandma gave her. Her favorite things to eat are cheese, raisins, and cheerios. The swings are her favorite thing to do at the park. Her favorite toy is her stuffed animal gorilla that resides at Nana’s house.
Your girls are so stinking cute! Elise is such a happy smiley girl and she has such a pretty smile. I love the story of her thieving the tutu skirt in the night. So funny!!
