Elise's personality so far

• Loves to be active.  Jumping on and off furniture (her favorite), dancing, running, climbing...
• Not really into toys! 
• Has now passed the stage of being a mommy to her stuffed animals
• Loves to take objects and put them into things like bags, boxes, plastic sandwich bags, etc.  This is probably her favorite form of playing
• Loves anything artistic-- painting, drawing, coloring...
• VERY happy and easygoing kid.  Always happy and bad moods are rare and usually due to things like insufficient sleep, sickness, etc.  Never tantrums.  We're incredibly thankful for this.
• Shy around new people but quick to warm up
• Loves people and talks about them often
• A little jokester and likes to make us laugh with silly jokes
• Hates bugs and creepy crawly things
• Has a hard time sitting still because she constantly wants to explore anything.  This makes it difficult at restaurants or long walks in the stroller.  Just yesterday, we ran into some church friends while out on a walk, and while we were talking, she jumped out of the stroller and tried to run into the street
• Likes to put on a dress and sing Frozen songs or say "I'm a princess!" or "I'm a flower girl!"
• Does not like to be alone.  Wants us to engage with her at all times.
• Gives many excuses for not wanting to go to sleep (thirsty, bathroom, etc.)
• Does not like sports or anything to do with balls
