A day in the life of Ella Claire…

I’ve seen this done a few times and I thought it would be a fun thing to do for Ella’s birthday. (April 29, 2009)

Good morning Ella!

Time for breakfast, Ella’s least favorite meal. She is so picky, usually something that works one day is hated the next. She has been eating yogurt but the past few weeks she has used it more as paint, lotion, and hair gel than for nutrition. I’m still trying to find something that she can eat herself (there is no helping her eat, she is very independent) that doesn’t make a huge mess.IMG_9242 edit

After we get Summer and Jace on their bikes and off to school we watch a little Sesame Street…IMG_9245 edit

Some playing and being silly for the camera…

Got all dressed up to go run some errands…IMG_0017 web

Home again for some lunch, we stopped at McDonald’s for some chicken nuggets and french fries (her favorite) along with a banana and some chocolate soy milk…yum!

While we were out Cade hurt his finger at a store and as soon as we got home we put a band-aid on it. Ella had to have a “ticker” too.

After a quick card game (they LOVE to play Uno!) it is time for naps…

A snack of goldfish and yogurt raisins and a visit from our neighbor Cole…IMG_0019 web

Taking a break from playing outside to play some music for us…IMG_0021 web

Time for dinner! Ella is a very messy eater, but when she likes something she eats a ton!IMG_0023 web

Time to open a present from Grandad Welch (the rest will wait till her party). She gets a swimming baby doll…

Jump in the tub to wash off the dinner remains and try out the new baby…she LOVED it!IMG_9275 edit

We forgot to open the cards earlier…she got one with a $10 bill from Nana and Papa.IMG_0037 web

Time for a snack… thanks to leftover camping supplies and Papa’s emergency candle that he made us, we have s’mores pretty often :)

Ella has always loved brushing her teeth…

Summer loves to read to the kids and they love books…IMG_9279 edit

After telling everyone goodnight and giving out lots of hugs and kisses, it’s time for bed (must haves: “Ella” pillow, blankie, paci, and a variety of dolls….

Good night sweet girl!

It was so fun to “follow” Ella around for a day…I think I will definitely do this again for the other kids!

Ella is SO cute! I can see each of your kids in her. This was a good idea...something that I will have to do.

She is so cute! I am guessing she turned 2. Ashlee turned 2 back in November. I love that I can keep up with you on your blog now! I had heard of a blog called That's what she said, didn't know it was yours . . .

What a cute post. I might have to try that, but of course no more birthdays until next summer. We miss sweet Ella and all of you too!
