I am amazed at how much Elsie has learned in the last 2 weeks. She is talking so well! She has started saying a lot of 3 word phrases. She makes us laugh all day long. I don't know if other kids are as funny as she is, or if she is just funny to us, but she is some good, free entertainment! Her most "famous" 3 word phrase is, "I-don'-wan-it" (ok, so maybe it is a 4 word phrase). She says all the words connected, like it is one word. It is so funny. Or she will say, "I-don'-like-it" usually she will say one of these phrases, then pause for a split second and follow-up with a one word of what ever she doesn't like or want. It is so funny. "I-don'-wan'-it. (pause) joos. (juice)" It is funny. I wish I could videotape her all day long. She is so fun right now!! Don't get me wrong, with learning so much...she learns the good. the bad. and the ugly. She can throw a good fit. Which provides for some good entertainment for Josh and I. Elsie is so smart! I love how she connects things. All the time. I think this all day long, and now as I sit at the computer to type a good story to prove how smart she is...my mind is blank.
Josh and I are so blessed to have Elsie in our lives! We will be forever grateful to Amanda and her selfless decision! We love you Amanda and can't wait until we get to see you again! I am excited for you to see how crazy and fun Elsie is. Non-stop entertainment.
