I meant to have an entire post about Miles's eczema and I never did.  In early December I noticed a little dryness.  Then it was a couple weeks later it got really bad the day he wore a nice sweater to go see santa.  I contacted the doctor. She said to contact a specialist. Then it took awhile to see a specialist. He was not seen until January 3 so this was all before he was seen.   His  arms got so bad in the car that they were oozing at one point too. I used lotions I had and cocoa butter to help.

Ella likes Miles. AND Miles likes Ella. 

A collage I made advertising the Christmas ornament mom's night in I scheduled.

 Another view of how awful Miles's arms look.

 Dave getting Miles set up with sock hands!

Miles is wearing Ella's shirt!

Just look at his face!

 I just need to print a picture for my 2013 ornament!

When I got to preschool, Ella was actually playing with her friends. That seems rare when I pick her up. She might be playing beside kids but not with them. They were together building a city.

Ella is having a snack :)

Ella Says... (February 2017)

Here are some more Ella quotes that I managed to document. 

----------

I tell Ella she's a big kid since she slept all night

Ella stood up : I'm a big kid. I'm 40 inches”

I took many pictures but for some reason they all aren't backed up. 

Not pictured: 

Miles had some bad eczema and scratched his forehead a lot and made it bleed.  I finished working on some photo ornaments that I made. Ella fell asleep in the chair in Miles's room.  Dave briefly held Miles and he watched the Steelers.  I had Miles wear socks on his hands to try to stop the scratching. 

I had been working on finally going through boxes in the craft room and said how there was room for a little table over there.  One of the times I was nursing Miles, Dave set up a table.  Ella then got a new craft table. She wanted to test it out and ate her pita at it.

We had a dance party at the standing table.

Ella liked to stand on the table!

I went on a short run!

Ella liked to hide under her hamper. She'd say we couldn't find her but then she'd stick her hands out so then we would be able to find her!

Ella likes to carry her baby dolls around on her shoulders.

She potty trains her dolls too!

We headed to Children's Discovery Museum.

Ella liked exploring everything.

Of course she loved the water area.

We got lunch on the way home. Ella enjoyed her hot dog.

I don't know how this happened but Ella got my chair and I had to sit in her chair.

I swore I typed part of this post before but nothing was here so then this was super short.  We had an adventure at the museum and it was tons of fun so you'd think I would have written more. Oh well.
