Minnesota Girl

Eleanore likes to play dress up. She is working on big things like shirts and pants, but she can easily put on boots and hats. Today Patrick was going to take her to the pool so he put on her swim suit. Then she got into her bag of winter clothes that we bring with her to daycare. She came back in the room looking like this. Somehow to me these photos make her look like the perfect MN girl... heading to the pool, but ready for a blizzard!

Big Girl Bed

It is official! Eleanore has a real life big girl bed. She has been very good about not falling out - We have had just a couple minor incidents (but we have pillows on the floor so her landing has been soft). She has also been pretty good about not getting out of bed when it isn't time - but sometimes it is hard to know when it isn't time yet, so we are being patient. Most of the time if she wakes up in the middle of the night it has been very easy to escort her back, cover her up and she goes back to sleep.
Before the mattress came, she slept for a few days on an air mattress on the floor. I think she likes this much better!
