playroom

here are some photos of our playroom. on the floor are the contents of a package from mimi for elenora. we will eventually get a real chair for the corner that currently has just the little rocking chair in it.

here's the little activity table that i found. it's the perfect height and seats 4. i actually fit into the little chairs quite comfortably. the blue one is elenora's favorite.

elenora and i have been enjoying hosting playdates at our house the past 2 afternoons. yesterday aurora and s. came over and today e. brought penelope and baby eli. how fun to see the children running around and playing so happily and to not feel claustrophobic in our home!

here is ella playing with the seashells and magnifying glass her mimi sent her.

ella's potty training continues to go very well. she had 2 and 1/2 completely dry days, and has been wearing underwear instead of diapers or pull-ups for everything except naps and bedtime. we have taken multiple outings with training pants on, and she is able to hold on until we are at a bathroom again. it's pretty exciting after 2 and 1/2 years of diapers.

tomorrow is j. and my 5 year anniversary! he's going to take me out to buy me a potted plant for our stoop or porch. then after ella's ballet recital rehearsal, he and i will go to newburyport for dinner and a walk by the ocean. i have a very exciting gift for him... my hint is that this is the "wood" anniversary.
