a lovely tea party on the deck, "Oh, It's a beautiful day out today." Ella declares almost daily now- it's funny to hear the phrases we say off hand being thrown back at us. 
Ella was quite insistent on wearing this outfit- the top is actually a PJ top. 
Ella is quite the outdoors girl and has learned to put on her sandals and open the slider to play on the deck (Thank you Pubah for making the deck a gate last summer!). Even this weekend in the pouring rain, there she was, playing on the deck and in the back yard. When I picked her up to go get her raincoat on she kept screaming "I NEED to play outside" until she was rereleased out into the wild.
