Hello from Elsie


It seems as thought all of my posts lately have been about Mary Grace, so let's talk a little about Elsie for a minute.  She's as active and funny as ever.  She's so smart, too!  She can recall things that we did when she was just a little baby.  Recently, she told me about the last time we went to St. Maarten.  She remembers going on the airplane with Dr. Danks and Nana, the fact that we landed in one airport, had to change planes, and that Nana and Dr. Danks went on a different plane than we did from that second airport.  She was only 18 months old then.  If we've misplaced something at home, she usually knows where it is and will find it for us.  She knows many numbers and letters.  She's going to give her Daddy a run for his money one day!
She really enjoys going to tumble classes on Mondays and going to Mary Grace's soccer practices and games.  She will be old enough in the Fall to play soccer and to take dance classes!  So hard to believe!
She and Mary Grace love to play Happy Apple.  She is either Mrs. Kolgaklis or Mrs. Albrecht and Mary Grace is Mrs. Green or Mrs. Lentz.  They line up their dolls and stuffed animals and read to them.
She also really likes to change her clothes.  Over and over and over again.  Some days she will change three times between arriving home at 5:30 and dinner around 6:30.  She goes straight up to her room when we get home, opens her dresser, selects an outfit and changes.  Sometimes, she will go back upstairs and change again into a princess dress.  That gets old after a while and she changes into pjs.
She loves to eat crackers.  If I didn't insist otherwise, she would survive just on crackers and orange La Croix.
So there's a little Elsie update to even things out a bit.
