Ellie is doing great too. She is so smart and comes up with the funniest things to say. She loves playing pretend. She pretends that she works in an ice cream shop and serves crazy flavors-- green bean, corn, potato chip-- you name it, she'll serve to you! She also likes to play Mama and Darlin'. "Mommy, you be the Mama and I'll be the Darlin', okay?"
She is finally out of pull ups at night. She decided last week that she wanted to sleep in panties, just like Hailey Grace. Hailey is my best friend, Court's, daughter and they were here visiting in March. All of a sudden, Ellie got on a kick of sleeping in panties just like Hailey, so we did it. She has not had any accidents in bed. The first few nights, she had a little trouble making it to the potty on time, but that only lasted 2 nights.
She is also doing better at sleeping in her own bed. She still tries to sneak in my bed in the middle of the night, but is improving. I keep reminding her that she will be 4 soon and big girls sleep in their own bed. Slowly, but surely, she is getting it.
We are also patching her eye again. You may remember that she had Stabismus Surgery last year on her left eye. Over the past several months, I have noticed her eye straying again. After taking her back to two different eye doctors, we have learned that she is still not using her left eye. When she goes to focus on things, she tends to use only her right, stonger eye. The new eye doctor suggested using the patch every day for 2 hours. Ellie is pretty good about keeping it on. We go back to the eye doctor in September. Hopefully we will see some improvement then.
