My Kids: Eliora

Eliora is our jewel, our precious little girl.  She is starting into the stage of 2 and the most common phrase we hear in our house is, “I do dat”. She washes her own hands, wipes her own nose and puts her own seatbelt on.

The next most common phrase we hear is, “Read it to me”.  She will bring books for hours.  I normally get tired after 5 or 6, but she would keep going till she had read every book we own twice. It was great when grandparents came to visit because then there were that many more adults to read to her.

Eliora finally has enough hair to hold a hair clip and she insists on having me put them in 12 times a day (they don’t stay in for very long ).  She is getting very good at getting dressed and undressed.  I got her out of naptime yesterday – her pants were pulled half-way up and backwards and her shirt on inside-out.

Eliora loves to sing.  She sings in the car seat, in the highchair, in bed.  She sings herself to sleep most nights. She is a good sleeper, normally taking a nap from 1:00-4:00pm (which is a great reset time for all of us).  Bedtime is about 7:30 and she stays in bed till 7:30 the next morning.
