Ella's social & activity calendar has definitely been keeping us busy. She goes to MDO on Mondays & Wednesdays. She absolutely LOVES it! Every morning as soon as we get upstairs where her classroom is, she runs around the corner, finds both of her teachers & gives them big hugs. She hardly even says goodbye to me or Jeff, because she is so eager to play with her friends. Her favorite part of the day is "stretch & grow." It is a physical fitness type class for toddlers & she is always talking about it on the car ride home. Tuesday morning usually starts out at "gym school" as Ella calls it. She has really come to love the girls that work at the childcare at my gym, too. She runs in & is always ready to play hopscotch, puzzles, or go outside to slide. I am happy she is so comfortable there, so I can get in my workouts without worrying about her. After that, we are onto gymnastics. Ella's favorite thing at gymnastics is jumping & doing tricks on the trampoline. Sometimes it is hard for her to understand that the concrete floor at home is not the same as the trampoline! Thursday morning is gym school again for Ella & then onto Kindermusik. Ever since we began this class, before Ella was even walking, she has thrived every week. She is in her element when singing, dancing, & playing instruments. This class has been a great aid to her development every step of the way. Lately, there are a couple songs where she matches pitch really well for her age (according to Ms. Brooke.) Honestly, it makes me laugh when she gets so serious about her singing! Fridays are usually spent getting together with friends for playdates at home, the park, or the Children's Museum. We are looking forward to summer so we can add swimming & Schlitterbahn into the mix. Once again, Ella has a pretty sweet life as a 2 year-old.
