Well, Elena began expressing interest in the potty after a long spell of running from it. Then she got sick - again. And nothing has really happened since. EXCEPT that she loves to sit on her little potty now and wear big girl underwear. She pees through them within a half hour, but progress is progress. We'll take it.
Elena has also grown into a five-year old overnight. This morning she asked me if I had my keys ("Got keys, Mama?") and has taken to short stints of referring to us as "Mom and Dad." (My name is MOMMY or MAMA, *%#$)!!) :)
I went to Atlanta last week and Grandma Yvette came to stay, take care of Lala and help Ryan. Leaving her was awful, but much less so because I knew she was in good hands and having fun. Plus, it allowed me some time to be me. When Elena saw me again, she RAN to me in the airport and kept yelling my name. Sweet love... Ryan told her I went on a trip to the moon. Neither of us wanted to tell her I was working because we didn't want her to think I'd be gone that long every time I went to work. So the moon was the obvious choice. :) I brought her a 'moon jelly frog' (fresh from the Georgia aquarium) from the 'moon' and she loved throwing it at the wall, watching it goo and fall off the wall. The frog since sprung a leak and is 'done.'
Gramma Frankie then took us to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery where Elena could feed the fish and watch them jump for food. She couldn't have loved that more.
We are preparing for Easter and excited for our neighborhood egg hunt this Saturday. We'll keep the blog posted on our little bunny's progress.
