An Anne Elise Update

6.16.2014

Life with Anne Elise is NEVER dull. She keeps us laughing & busy. If it gets quiet, you better check up on this active toddler. She's likely doing her usual routine of pulling everything out for fun (ie. all the wipes out of a container, all the ice out of the ice maker, all the toys out of the toy chest, you get my drift... The girl loves to clean out any given space). 

She attends Mother's Morning Out twice a week & gymnastics once a week. She just finished swim lessons & puts her new skills to work on our almost daily trips to the pool. She loves to play with Easter eggs despite my efforts to put them all away. Those little boogers seem to keep popping up by the masses. I think they multiply in the attic then make their way downstairs while I sleep (when I'm afforded that luxury). 

Our AE makes friends everywhere & addresses anyone she doesn't know as "friend." I find this so adorable as we are walking around airports, stores, parks, etc & she is constantly waiving at other little people saying "hey friend!" Across the street from our new house, the sweet family has 5 precious children. The 2 youngest girls who are a good deal older than AE have taken to her so well. When they are playing outside, AE gets excited & begs for us to help her cross the street. Sweet Quinn & Jade play so sweetly with our AE helping her to ride their scooters, bikes, & kicking balls around with her. 

Anne Elise loves her sister & for the most part, they play well together. AE does get a little frustrated with Harvin's desire to grab & take. I often overhear her telling Harvin to "be patient!" Hmmmm... I guess she's heard that before. 

She's also still a WONDERFUL eater. The girl LOVES veggies & fruit. She much prefers broccoli over desert & can wipe out a bag of grapes or blueberries in record breaking time. Her aunt KK introduced us to the Kroger cheese aisle & since has gotten us both hooked on yummy slices of aged cheese. We've just about sampled every block. 

This fall, she's signed up for 3 yr old preschool 3 days a week. I'm excited about the new adventures that will unfold for this sweet, fun-loving girl.
