August has been a great month of watching Elsa develop into a wonderful little girl.
At the start of the month, Elsa graduated from MINI, her infant care center that she started at when she was 5 months old, to Downtown Children's Center (DCC), her pre-school. It was so sad for us to leave the warmth and love of MINI, but after a rough few weeks adjustment, Elsa is thriving at DCC. She is now the little one in a group of 2-5 year olds and we hear her talk, sing and count more.
Elsa likes her friend Emilia a lot. She and Emilia are so cute holding hands and running around.
In late August, we headed down to LA for a weekend of friends and a wedding. Elsa's friend Sage had fun putting lip gloss on Elsa. Elsa really enjoyed the experience.
The next morning Elsa got to ride a pony - her first pony ride - all by herself!
We are blessed to have such an energetic girl. Our latest activity is to cook. Elsa loves cooking with mommy and wearing her apron. She is particularly fond of stirring and pouring. We made muffins, apple pie, cookies, spaghetti, tuna melts and fried rice. Arne put together a great video of us making muffins.
