I was advised by many that talking to Ella and teaching her through every day happenings can really aid in brain development and knowledge. My girlfriend Sarah, taught her son Samuel animals and the sound they make by age of 2 ((maybe earlier, not sure)) and his alphabet, which he now can say backwards and he isn’t even 3 yet! She told Josh and myself that she just talked to Samuel and would use simple ways and daily routines to teach him.

We decided since we didn’t write a lot of posts on our happenings this summer ((we actually think Ella wrote more)) we’d write one entry outlining our summer of fun!

What a day… my first official day not working at AEC, thinking I would get a nice week, or more, before the birth of our little Ella. As we all know, this was not the case.
