Calculated Crawler

Things that are true about Ella: 1. She is really starting to pick up speed. BUT as soon as I turn on the camera to get a video of it, she freezes and smiles at me with a face that seems to say, "Mom, I know what you want me to do...I'm not doing it! (Na Na Na Na Na)"
 2. Ella is in love with Lily Monica. Seriously, if Ella sees her from across the room, she starts squealing and hooting like a small animal. Ella tries to throw herself from the high chair to get at this baby. We've checked. It's not a baby doll thing. It's not even a big sister's toy thing. It's a Lily Monica thing. So, how do you solve problem stated in #1? Set up the video camera and "Surprise!" Lily Monica suddenly appears. Note: Abby is very 3 and learning to share. Some moments are easier than others. Abby loves Lily Monica just as much as Ella does. She does not love to share. We probably have conversations about this five times a day! This is a very real glimpse into our daily life with a crawling infant and an opinionated three year old!
