Dress-Up

Dressing up continues to be a favourite activity around our house. Here is Juliette as 'Cinderella' and Ella as 'Snow White'.

Ella likes to dress herself in the morning and I've discovered that it is best to let her pick her clothes (as long as the outfit is reasonable for what we are doing that day). I was very impressed with her choice the other day (jeans, a pink shirt, and a brown sweater), the most normal outfit she has picked out in a long time. When we got downstairs she immediately added a hat and gold shoes to her ensemble.

One of Ella's favourite activities is putting letter magnets on the fridge. She can now identify the letters A and E. When she sees an E she'll ask 'is this "E"... is "E" for "Ella"?" We are only working on uppercase right now, lowercase is just too confusing... especially because the letter 'a' can look quite different depending on the font.
