So "silence" in the house when Ella Mae is around usually means she is up to something...for instance, she was silent for a few moments the other day and I went looking for her and she had a tube full of lotion and had lathered herself (among other things in the room) to the point where she was so slippery I reached to help her up and could not get a grip on her, and she fell (giggling all the way) back on her "bootie". Long periods of silence usually mean extra trouble-making...but sometimes it is just worth it to have a few un-interupted moments.....so when I was feeding the "Rubinator" to sleep a few nights ago, enjoying a few one-on-one silent, quiet moments with her as she drifted into la-la land.....I knew my "payback" was coming. I heard her calling my name and when I pulled the curtain to the back porch..........
It felt slightly "Lord of the Fly" ish to me...as I mentioned before, they do alot of exploratory play at her new school..so in her eyes this was just slightly "normal". She came home the other day from school and it was as if someone had dunked her from the thighs down in a vat of green paint. I can't fault her..I mean, I left the finger paints there just begging to be, well..finger-painted. Needless to say we had a good laugh about it and gave her a good scrubbing! Not so funny when the "silence" led to marker on the wall yesterday...you win some you lose some...
It's finally not so hot, so Ella Mae, her BFF from the culde, and Ruber Doobers decided to plant a few things from seeds to bring some color to the culde...
Cousin Courtney brought it "old school" and loaned us her VCR (yes they do still exist!) and a bunch of Disney movies. You completely forget how good we have it these days until you are waiting 20 minutes for a tape to rewind...ridiculous! Anywho...one of Ella's new fave things is to gather her "family" to watch...

| even Captain Bananas and Biscuit wanted to watch "Lady and the Tramp" We have been missin' our Sunday morning bike rides to Maudies for breakfast and down to the park cuz we didn't have a melon protector for Ruby-kins (new nick-name from g-ma)......she has such an itty bitty nogin to boot, but I finally found what I was lookin' for today (10 bucs on Craigslist..new in box..SCORE!!) She had fun..but ultimately this was the end result.....  |
She has been rockin' it in the eating department...even started drinking from a straw today! WOOT! WOOT! It is really good for her oral motor skills to be able to do that..baby steps! Here are a few pics from a typical eating session

| you can see her tooth! |
 |
| she has a second chomper coming in next to the other one! |
Her second chomper came in today next to the other one on the bottom..she is feeding herself just about anything you put in front of her! (taking after her mama :))
That's all for now folks! Happy Monday!!
