WOW!!! What a difference a few days makes!!!

(We have found the cord thing for the camera to the laptop, but just haven't had time to transfer photos...there coming, there coming....I promise.)   Well, we have had some really good days and some....well...not so good days, but each day it is getting better.   The stroller, wagon, and bathtime are now fun again!!! Yay and Whew!!!!   The shopping cart at Target or the grocery store....not so fun and must look like some kind of toture device....I need my girl to be a Target Girl like myself....we will get there, we will get there.   Ella slept in her room last night in her toddler bed!!!! She had been taking naps in there all week and last night she slept at nighttime in her own room. Now, I didn't sleep well, as every sound I heard on the monitor made me leap from the bed, but she seemed to sleep well.   Most important of all Ella is really starting to come out of her shell a little bit more each day. We all knew and have witnessed that personality, however, she is becoming quite a character...you should hear her scold Peala. It is too funny, we cannot figure out if she is saying any Chinese words or if she is talking toddler speak...at any rate it is pretty funny. We have tried to get it on video, but as soon as we take out the camera either Peala skulks away or Ella resigns herself to the fact that Peala is here to stay too.   Hopefully, new photos of Ella will be up today!!! ~rested dee, jet-lagged David (yes, still), and silly Ella
