Ella Update

So as mentioned earlier, Ella is back. Unfortunately, we discovered after her first couple of nights that Ella's antics were stressing Kaitlyn out. Especially the messy ones. Thus, we had to have a chat with Ella and tell her to tone it down a bit. So for the most part she's been pretty mellow. She's been found swinging around, she borrowed Kaitlyn's shopping cart and purse and went to the store and bought Christmas-themed marshmallows for KP (using KP's money and leaving an I owe you note), she got up in the middle of the night with Babe-ah to feed her, she's gotten KP powdered donuts, she's been caught reading magazines in the bathroom, and playing in our Christmas tree, among lots of other things. But the last couple nights she has seemed to ramp it up a bit again. Two nights ago, her and Holiday Barbie got into a marshmallow snowball fight and last night she tried stealing my Christmas gift. She crossed out "Mom" on the tag and wrote "Ella" - that little sneak! She actually had her hand about ready to open my gift. Good thing she didn't!

Nonetheless, we love Ella. In fact, every morning the first thing Kaitlyn says is, "I wonder what silly Ella is up to today - let's go find her!'
