my elly

She is quirky and cooky. She's pretty talented at faking a fit if she doesn't get her way, but she is hardly ever in bad mood. She brings a bit of whimsy into our little family. For her...burps, toots and "poo-poo" diapers might possibly be the funniest things on the planet.
She loves to make fake serious faces and then burst into fake fits of laughter.
She's the cuddler in the family.
And she is three-years-old. How can that be?!
------------------------------------------------
We had to cancel our plans for Elly's birthday because Canon might have the flu. We had planned to go to a high school football game because Elly seems to like football. [And it's at this point Elly would most definitely interject and clarify that it is football PLAYERS that she likes. Not football. But the players. Seriously. She corrects me every single time. My daughter is three-years-old and already has a thing for football players.]

3 year olds are so much fun! Elly had a delightful personality. I wish we loved close so that we could get to know and enjoy her.
Love,
Susan

I still can't believe she is three. How can that be? Happy belated birthday sweet, crazy Elly! Sounds like it was a fun birthday despite the need for the last minute change in plans due to Canon not feeling well. (Hope you are feeling better, Canon).

Love you!

I think you forgot to mention how beautiful she is, too! It's really hard to believe you've been gone from Chicago that long ... but man, do you have an amazing family. Happy birthday, Elly!!!
