Somebody!

Ella absolutely loves the song Somebody That I Use to Know. She asks us to play it over and over again for her. She can sing along to a lot of it and will stop whatever she's doing and come running if it comes on unexpectedly. When we're trying to get her to go to sleep she often sings this song to herself.

Ella is becoming quite the singer. She knows many of the words to several simple songs and loves to sing them. She's also really understanding how to put words together to get her point across.

Potty training is going very well. She's pretty much "house broken"- when we're home and she's diaper off, she almost never has an accident. She doesn't even tell us any more when she needs to go, just goes and does it. When she's finished, she claps and says "Yay!" and that's our cue to come running because she will pick up the little potty and try to dump it in the big potty herself. I'm not sure how to make the transition to being completely potty trained. If she has a diaper on, she won't usually tell us when she needs to go and if you ask her she always says no.  I think it's something that will just come with more maturity on her part.
