Updates as promised

So here are the pictures of the kitchen disaster. Right now we are at the point where were are dealing with the insurance. Not fun. Well tomorrow I will be taking Ella to the Fire House to take the firefighters some cookies to thank them for helping us and hope that she will become more comfortable with them. Today when we went outside to play she wanted to know if they were coming to take her toys away. So my visiting them I hope she will become more comfortable around them. We will see.

Now on the the Birthday party at school today. Of course everything had to be Dora. She really likes her. Then after the teachers handed out all the goodies that asked the class what they should say to Ella for bringing in such a nice treat. Well no one said anything so Ella speaks up and says "Say thank you". I guess she has heard that just a few too many times.

Last but not lease teddy bear picnic and swim. Ella did not cry as much today as the last time and even spent some time holding on to the wall with out the teacher. At the teddy bear picnic she was very excited that someone had a smaller bear like hers because she could be the mommy to it.
