March

We started March off with some unexpected snow. It was the best snow day yet, as Ellis got to play with Miles that day. Miles enjoyed throwing himself in the snow while Ellis tried to mow the snow. I was so glad that Ellis got a second chance with the snow because the last snow fall we had he was quite sick and could not go out and play. It seems like so many things have happened this month. Ellis has a new babysitter whom we just love. Her name is Clara. We are also very blessed because she watches Chase, Miles and Ellis on Mondays and Wednesday afternoons. Those of course are Ellis' favorite days. Ellis continues to grow and say funny things. Just recently he sneezed and I was not on top of my game...an he promptyly said "Mommy...I need to be blessed" He is also wanting to get his way. He attempts this through, complaining and whining. He has gotten very good at this and is persistent. When he say No to something, he enjoys to use phrases like "But...but...I waaaannnttttttt toooooooo". We kind of know when it is coming especially when our names take an entire minute to get through..."Mooooooommmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee......." of course a high pitched tone of voice is right along with that. Oh goodie for us!! Even though it can get on our nerves, he still finds to be comical about it! This is what I call the Luke Syndrome! My brother did the very same thing. He basically laughed his way through his childhood. Little does Ellis know I have already had practice with his kind of personality, I am so onto him!!
