Ellee

I wanted to introduce Ellee.  She is a wonderful girl, amazing daughter, and will be a great big sister.  We are truly blessed to have her in our lives.  She brings us great joy.  

She is 2.5 years old.  She is always willing to try new things.  She loves to read, do puzzles, play games, collect things outside (mostly rocks and pinecones), ride her bicycle, play at the park (specifically climb ropes), do science experiments (anything where she is not sure of the outcome) and watch TV with her Daddy.  

She also has great compassion.  She always notices when someone is crying or upset and always feels the need to help or comfort through hugs and pats.  She even offers her prized blanket to anyone that she feels might need it.

I think the story and picture below sums up what a great sister she will be.  I was reading an information booklet about Down syndrome while Ellee was playing.  She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was reading about Katie.  A few hours later she climbed on the couch with the booklet and flipped through the pages pointing to all the pictures and saying “Cute baby!”  When I asked her what she was doing she said “I need to read about Katie”.
