He's crazy!

For the most part, Ellis is such a great baby. He is SO goofy. He has a great sense of humor, like when you put something on your head, he will laugh hysterically in his squeaky little way. Though watch out! He has such a short temper. Matt was playing with his old GI plane, it was right up Ellis' alley. He loves things with wheels, balls and anything that goes VROOM! Well Matt was playing with it, having it zocbvom in the air and fly over his head, basically keeping it JUST out of his reach. He lost it. He started screaming and throwing his arms and got VERY angry! Also, watch out if you have to take something from him that he wants. He fights back hard.

Speaking of fighting, Clara and Ellis fight a lot! It is pretty crazy. She just is having a hard time sharing with him and likes to boss him and tell him what he should play with. And for the most part, Ellis does not want to hear it!

We are trying to potty train Clara. So the other day, I started putting big girl underwear on her first thing in the morning. She really liked the idea and did a great job of sitting on the potty every 15 minutes. She did not have an accident! The next day we did the same thing, she sat on the potty. She has not PEED on the potty yet but she sure will sit there. On Friday, she held her pee in from 9 in the morning to 2 PM for her nap. And she FOUGHT me on putting a diaper on. She did not want to at all. She kept saying that she is a big girl and she is too big for her diaper. I really think this will go well IF she learns how to pee on the potty. We will see how it goes!

A couple of funny Clara thoughts

I was eating dinner tonight and she turned to me and said, "Slow down Mommy! Chew slowly". You gotta love your own words coming back to you:)

Another thing she said, we were at the movies. We went to the free summer camp movie, Charlotte's web with Addy and Molly. While every one else was getting food, Clara kept saying, I want to watch a movie while the previews were on. A sentiment I can definitely relate to because they often are quite long! She said, "Go get the remote. I want to watch a movie!" I thought that was hilarious. I had her stand on her chair to show here were the projector room was and I told her that man in that room had the remote and we had to wait for him to decide if we are going to watch the movie.
