One of Ella and Troy’s favorite things to play is Bible class. They love to pass out books to us (or their stuffed animals) as songbooks/Bibles. Then they’ll take turns calling out numbers, leading songs, talking about Bible stories, saying memory verses, and even taking turns saying prayers. One day they had quite the classroom full of students (and you can’t even see them all in the photo!).
One of Ella’s Christmas presents this year was a large cardboard playhouse that you can decorate and color yourself. I wasn’t sure how she’d do with such free reign of markers (not to mention the whole idea that she is coloring on walls of a house), but she did great! She has been responsible with the markers, and only ended up with a bit of marker on her, and none on the floor (or my walls) (at least not that I’ve found!). She’s even been a great sport about not having the markers out when Troy is playing in the room with her.
with the purpose of using it for newborn pictures, thinking that an added bonus would be that Ella would enjoy sitting on it as well. Turns out she also enjoys using the bean bag, plus the box it came in, plus some couch pillows to build her first "fort." She drug the box, bean bag, and pillows all around - it was so cute!
