I Can Be a B-R-A-T, Brat, Brat, Brat :)

I spent most of today seeing how many ways I could get into trouble.  First I woke Mommy up especially early, hehe!  Later I made sure to make a lot of loud noise to wake Seren up from her morning nap.  I succeeded.  I feel like if I'm awake, everyone should be awake.  Sleeping is overrated anyway.  Last night I got into trouble for playing on the stairs.  Daddy yelled at me because he said I could fall down the stairs and get hurt.  Although this is true because I am really clumsy and tend to not pay attention to what I'm doing, I decided it would be fine to play on them while he was at work.  Mommy had to tell me three different times not to play on the stairs and send me to timeout before I would listen to her. 

I did many other ornery things today (most of which included ignoring Mommy when she would ask me to do something) but Mommy thinks this is her fault.  My Aunt Heather went into labor this morning and Mommy didn't pay much attention to me because she was so anxious about Aunty H.  I sure hope Liam is born tomorrow so Mommy isn't distracted all day again!  I thought she was going to have a heart-attack every time her phone rang or beeped.  I didn't know she could run so fast!

I did get to make my own pizza for dinner and it was very good!  Grace told me I should thank myself, so I did.  After dinner, Daddy let me watch Cinderella (my favorite movie) and Grace and I started working on a scrapbook.  We took pictures with my camera to make memories.  When Daddy prints them out, we can put them in the scrapbook and decorate them with stickers.  I love stickers!  Before I went to bed, Chubba became very sick and it was grossing me out.  I just kept pointing at her and saying, "Ewwwww!".  I think I'm going to have nightmares about it!

I Heart the Dentist

I went to the dentist today.  It wasn't my first time but it was my first time sitting by myself.  Usually I sit in Mommy's lap but I am a big girl now so I had to sit alone.  Plus she had Seren with her this time.  I love going to the dentist because there is a special playroom filled with lots of toys that I can play with while we are waiting.  Mommy was in the middle of reading "The Cat In The Hat" when they called my name. 

I was very cooperative and did everything the dental hygenist asked me to do.  She always takes the time to show me how everything works so that I won't be scared and she lets me pick out the flavors of my toothpaste and vitamin (flouride).  Today I picked chocolate toothpaste and banana vitamin.  We thought they would be a good combination and it was delicious!  I did such a good job that I got three prizes - a football, cherry chapstick, and a toy cell phone.  I also got two stickers, a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss.  I was even allowed to pick a toy out for Seren...even though she didn't do anything.  Then Dr. Emily came in and checked my teeth.  No cavities!

Mommy is so relieved that I love the dentist.  She is obsessed with taking good care of her teeth and she wants me to take care of mine.  She really likes my dentist office too.  She kept saying that they're the best pediatric dental office in town...whatever that means!  The next time I go I am going to get my first x-rays.  I can't wait!

A Weekend Off

Mommy and Daddy were very excited this weekend because it was the first time we didn't have something to do or somewhere to go since Thanksgiving.  They said we were going to take it easy and that's what we did.  On Saturday, Daddy took me to Grace's last basketball game.  The school mascot was there.  I tried to get him to talk to me but he wouldn't say hi.  We cheered for Grace and I had a good time but I didn't want to go.  Well, really I just wanted Grace to come with us but Daddy said she couldn't. 

When I got home, I helped Mommy clean with the cleaning supplies that Santa brought me for Christmas.  I love to vaccuum, mop, and dust.  Mommy said that I am a very good helper!  Last Saturday, Mommy took me to see my first movie in a theater.  It was called The Princess and the Frog.  I liked it so much I tried to talk Mommy into going again yesterday but we didn't.  Mommy said the next Disney movie that comes out, she will take me to see.  I can't wait!

Nana came over and played with me for a little while.  After she left Daddy and I walked down to the pond and threw sticks at the ice.  I got to play outside for a long time since it was warmer.  I wish it was spring already.  Then I'll be outside all of the time.  This morning it was actually warm enough for a thunderstorm.  It woke me up at 5 in the morning.  I was mad. 

Nothing very exciting happened today.  I went to Kroger's with Mommy.  It was a good thing I wore my raincoat because it was pouring.  I helped Mommy make cornbread and managed to smash the dried flowers that I've had since I was born.  Daddy was not impressed with that.  I also played hide-and-go-seek with Mommy but I'm not very good at it yet.  I usually tell her where I'm going to hide.  Either that or I hide in the last spot she was hiding!  Well, that's all for now.  I have to get back to my laptop.  Daddy and I are working and watching the playoffs :)

Visiting Daddy at Work

Today has been a fun day.  After taking Grace to school, Mommy gave me a bath.  She said my hair was looking a little funky, probably because I tend to sweat a lot in my sleep and my hair sticks to my head.  She wanted me to be squeaky clean since we were going to visit Daddy at work.  We hadn't been to see him at work since Seren was born. 

When we got to Daddy's work, the first person we visited (after Daddy of course) was Monique.  Monique was Mommy's boss when she worked at Cass.  At first I wouldn't talk at all but then Monique gave me a lollipop and I decided she was a nice lady and chatted with her.  We wandered around the building and everyone was really excited to see us.  I got so much candy, I thought it was Halloween again!  Mommy thinks the reason people kept giving me candy is because that was the only way they could get me to talk.  After we made our rounds to all of Mommy's old friends, we went back to see Daddy and he took me around to see his friends. 

Half of the people we talked to said I look just like Daddy.  The other half said that I look just like Mommy.  I think that I look like me.  All in all I had a good time going to Daddy's work, but I am happy to be home.  All of those adults talking to Mommy was kind of boring, even though I had candy to eat.  Plus, I have been dying to play with these toy cars Grace found in the basement!  I was having a great time playing with them until I found a ladybug.  It really freaked me out!!

I am Number One

Hello Everyone!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Ella.  I just turned 3 on December 1st and I am a very lucky little girl.  I live with my mommy, my daddy, my older sister Grace (8), and my baby sister Seren (8 months) in Westerville, Ohio.  My mom already has a blog called Chubba and the Bear (Chubba being Seren's nickname, the Bear being mine).  She uses it to write about what's going on in her life but thought it would be a good idea to start a seperate blog just for me.  This way I can post short blogs everyday of things I have been up to.

Even though it is only 10:30 in the morning, I have already had a busy day.  This morning I woke up and my mom made me blueberry pancakes for breakfast.  Yum!  I love blueberries and I love pancakes.  Then I got dressed in a new outfit that my mom bought for me a few days ago.  I love it because the top ties around my waist and there is a scarf that I haven't taken off since Tuesday.  Usually my mom lets me dress myself because I can and I love to do it, but we were in a hurry today so she had to dress me.  After I got dressed, we had to leave to take Grace to school.  She goes to school all the way up in Lewis Center because that's where her mom lives.  It takes us 20 minutes to get there on a good day.  We lucked out this morning - there was no traffic!  Mommy even had time to stop at Starbucks which always puts her in a good mood.

On the way to Grace's school, we listened to one of my favorite CD's.  It's a mix that has a lot of Miley Cyrus songs.  I LOVE Hannah Montana!  I know all of the words to many of her songs.  After we dropped Grace off, we went to the store.  My mom is making pot roast for dinner and we had to go buy all of the ingredients.  Seren cried the whole time we were in the store...but I'll let her tell you all about it on her blog (seren-thestoryofmylifeasachubba.blogspot.com).  Because my daddy is rotten and loves to spoil me, I get a craving for doughnuts.  My mommy was really nice today and bought one. (She usually disapproves of me eating things like doughnuts.  I guess they're not very healthy.)  It had chocolate frosting and sprinkles and was shaped like a star!  I ate it in 5 minutes.  Yum, yum, yum!  The guy at the checkout also gave me stickers.  People are always giving me stickers at the grocery store.  My mom tells me it's because I'm so cute.  She's probably right.

Anyway, I wanted to help my mom start dinner but she said it wasn't time yet, so I decided to go make dinner in my own kitchen while Seren is taking a nap.  That is all for now!  I'll update again if anything exciting happens!

By the way - here are some pictures of me in my new clothes.  Doesn't it make you want to give me a sticker too??
