ellie & her puzzles.

She’s always loved puzzles. She recently spent hours every day for months doing her puzzles. She hasn’t been doing them quite as much this past month as she probably got sick of them :). She’s a very smart girl who is also very sensitive and can be easily overwhelmed and overstimulated. I think that’s why she gravitates toward puzzles. Just enough stimulation and challenge and they give her confidence ❀️.

Also, I rarely am able to get her to look at my camera and when I do, this is usually what I get. She’s very good at avoiding the camera all together or flashing the cheesiest smile 😊

playing restaurant.

Ellie loves to bring out all the dishes, food and tea/coffee sets from her playroom so I just added a table to the middle of the room and we played restaurant. Except it was Ellie’s restaurant and she demanded Lila and I help bring our own food from the kitchen ☺️.
