Elise's Creations

What do you see?



The cool thing about these pictures is that Elise said she was going to draw a sun and banana and then she did! Then she recreated it several times after seeing how pleased we were.


She used to interpret her designs but they never really looked anything like what she said they were: a shark, a monkey or mommy. So this was a first and we are so proud of her!

I have to thank Trina for these silly pictures of our little man! Apparently the glasses actually belong to Mr. Potato Head. What a ham - He loves dress-up sometimes more than Elise does!




"A" is for "Apple"

Dear Grandparents:
Elise knows her letters! She's always loved to sing the song and but she just started showing interest in learning to visually recognize the alphabet a few months ago. So with the help of books and Starfall.com (thanks Rachelle & Elaine!) she's able to do it pretty much all by herself.


She has broadened the variety of songs she likes to sing, a few being: (from her most favorite) I am a Child of God, Heavenly Father loves me, Families can be together forever, B-I-N-G-O and If you're happy and you know it. She also likes to sing a little Alicia Keyes as well as a few lines and melodies from Enchanted, "Ahhh, Ahhh..." and "How does she know you love her?"

Here's a little video medley.
