Happy 25 month birthday, Ellie-Kate (2/26/10)

We celebrated Ellie-Kate's 25 month birthday by enjoying a nice movie night at home (except for Chelsea who traveled on snowy roads on the fan bus to watch Athen High School lose in the sectional basketball final). As we ate dinner, we watched Beauty and the Beast-- arguably one of the best Disney movies ever! Ellie-Kate kept pointing at the screen, saying "Belle, Belle!!" Although we have Disney Channel on the tv a lot, she has never really seen the Disney classics so we're trying to introduce her to (and remind Emmy of) those special shows before we go to Disneyworld in December. With her room adorned with the Disney princesses, she's familiar with their images, but not the voices, songs, and stories that made them famous :)

We ended the evening with the best bedtime in months! Ellie-Kate went down in less than 1/2 hour-- without any screaming, etc. We're not quite sure what has made the difference, but we'll take it :)

Happy 25 month b-day, Ellie-Kate!

Love, Mommy and Daddy
