Elle Belle

As Elle was turning 3 I wanted to blog about some of her favorite things, well that was about a month ago so about time I should do that before her favorite things change!

Look at this little face, I mean I just don't think it gets any cuter than this.




Bink and Boke are still regulars at out house. From time to time Jesus shows up.  She always points out our church "Jesus' house" when we are driving by.  I love her imagination!  


She also rotates between playing characters throughout the day, here are some of her favorites.

Elsa - she walks around freezing things throughout the house
Buzz Lightyear -  she jumps off the coach because she is flying.  When she is Buzz her birthmark on her arm is her laser and Oliver is usually Woody. If I call either of them by any other name she immediately corrects me. 
Jessie - the red cowboy hat she got for Christmas is on pretty heavy rotation
Cinderella - this is a new one for her but lately she is loving Cinderella...both the original movie and the new one that came out in 2015.  This is also helping with her big fear listed below.


The biggest thing that Elle doesn't like is mice.  She is very scared that a scary mouse will come in our house.  I have told her mice are scared of Vito and Hermann so there is no way they would come to our house, that Eric sprayed our house so no mouse can get in, that mice (like Ratatouille) live in Paris and that is so far from where we live. Oddly enough she likes the movie Ratatouille and has never been scared when watching it. She has never actually seen a mouse, a mouse has never ever been in our house.  We think the fear came from a movie she watched with Eric called Strange Magic.


She is still sleeping in our bed (which I love!). Awhile ago (around November) Eric was trying to get her to sleep in her room one night and I spoke up that she had a cold (she really did) and when she was feeling bad wasn't the night to start sleeping in her room. Now every night she says she needs to sleep in our room because she still has her cold. :)


She is a mama's girl through and through. She is my shadow, talks like me, imitates everything I do down to using my makeup brushes to put on her own makeup.  If we go through a drivethru she has me roll down her window (she sits right behind me) so she can give our order...she repeats everything I say, love hearing my little echo in the backseat as I'm ordering a coffee, chocolate milk and chocolate cakepop at Starbucks.


Potty training is not our friend. Accidents happen frequently and it wears on my patience.  I always tell Elle to use her patience and I need to practice what I preach!


Pizza is still her favorite food, and turkey sausage is a close second. She also loves watermelon, apples, chocolate milk, hummus, popcorn, chips (Cheetos are her absolute favorite), marmalade (lemonade), and anything sweet.


She asked me the other day if we could go to Paris together one day (after seeing it on TV). I told her absolutely! I now have a goal to travel to Paris with my sweetest girl for a big birthday. Maybe 16? 18? 20?  I'm determined to make this happen. :)


I just love this little girl so much, she is my world, my heart, my best friend. 
Eleanor Bailey, I love you to the moon and back...500 times.
