This afternoon we went to our neighbors 3rd birthday party. They had a blow up bouncy castle, BBQ, cake and a pinata. Ella did very well in the bouncy castle for the first few minutes but then the bigger kids (3 year-olds)wore her out. Ella had a hard time getting her balance and when she was finally able to stand, the older kids would bounce by and she'd be back on her hands and knees. It took her a while to get to the middle as the air bumps and groves were bigger than her walking abilities. She was fine until she bumped heads with Katrina and couldn't make her way back to the opening (which was only large enough for the kids and my neighbor MaiKou who is Thai and about the size of a pea!) Ella was freaking out and MaiKou had to crawl in and get her. After that, Ella was only brave enough to stick her head through the opening and observe the other kids.
It was a good afternoon, but I see Ella has become a little princessy and quite dainty. She's very timid and polite, sharing with everyone. If any of the kids took something she had, she was very content to give it to them. Picking up the pinata loot, she needed some encouragement as she was fine with the one piece she picked up. She hasn't mastered the whole "get as much as you can before the others get it" concept yet. :)

It cracks me up how "big" Ella is, posing so prettily for the camera with all her buddies. And her hair really looks so much fuller after her cut! Nolan has yet to pose for the camera and tries to grab it (as I am sure you can see from our pics, LOL). Nolan also had the same reaction to the moonbounce- curious but not too sure!!
Looks like a fun party. That picture of you and Ella is great. You look fantastic.
