Baby at the Park

Since the weather is finally starting to get nice, Ella and I spend most of our afternoons at the park. She loves going to the park and being a big girl, doing everything by herself! This week she has started to want to bring "baby" to the park with us. "Baby" is just one of her dolls (all the dolls, stuffed animals, etc are called "baby"). She loves to take baby with her on the playground and have her do everything with her. Here is a video of her going down the slide with baby.

With all the playing and activities we have been doing she definitely sleeps well at night. Actually, nap time is pretty good too. We just have to get over the initial hesitation of actually wanting to go to sleep, but then once she is out, she is out. Last weekend I worked and her and daddy had the whole weekend to themselves. They spent time cleaning on Sunday morning and Ella was so busy helping and playing that she literally pasted out in her crib.
We are looking forward to my parents visiting for the holiday weekend, and have been prepping Ella. I ask her every morning, "who is coming to visit Ella this weekend?", and she responds, "papa!". Then I have to add "and Grandma" (but she can't say that yet). I'm hoping to get her hair cut this weekend as well, so I'll let you know how that goes. Hope everyone has a great Memorial day weekend!
