We'll keep this one too!

Elle for me is probably my biggest challenge. I think it is because she is most like me. She is very demanding and makes sure she is not pushed to the background. She loves to be the center of attention and loves to put on "shows" for us. She will sing and dance for hours. Her favorite video's are workout video's. She loves to "dance" along! She has been taking ballet and absolutely loves it. The first thing she says to anyone on the phone is, "I go to ballet."

Elle absolutely loves babies, babies, babies, and did I say babies! Oh, she also likes baby things! She always has a baby on her hip. She takes good care of her dolls and takes the job seriously. She is very good with Carson and often pretends that he is her baby, he loves it. The only thing she likes more than dolls are real babies. She will spend hours looking at books of babies. Between babies and dancing her day is full! She is very adamant though that she does not want me to have anymore babies! I couldn't agree more!

Just like my other children, Elle loves to learn. She brought me a paper the other day with her name written on it. I asked her who wrote it because I didn't recognize the handwriting. She told me that she had done it. I asked her who showed her and she told me Emme taught her. She began showing me all the other letters Emme has taught her! I was surprised that she could write about 2/3 of the alphabet and that she recognizes almost all of it, even lowercase! I'm thankful that my kids are better teachers than I am! It just unfortunate that the also teach their not as great qualities to each other also.

Elle sure is a delight to have around and a little drama to the mix is fun, right?! She really is quite sweet and I sure do feel blessed to have my children teach me so many different things. Elle definitely is teaching me to be a better person. I couldn't imagine not having her around.
