In between the rain storms, Ellie and I went out for a walk. On went the gum boots and Ellie was off splashing in all the puddles, which she has been calling “bath”. Then we were off to find the horse. Ellie was a little confused to see the horse lying down and I explained to her that everyone, including horses, take naps and some even sleep a full two hours unlike Ellie that day.
Ellie is amazing in so many ways. She is learning new words so fast, both Victoria and I can’t keep track. She is even putting words together now, “cup of tea” and “there he is” when she sees Spike. She loves spike. They chase after each other and he will come running when she says “meow, meow”. She loves dancing to music and can finally jump up off the ground.
Bark, not the sound a dog makes but wood chips for the garden. Ellie watched mum scatter bark on the ground and thought it look like too much fun to pass up. Her scattering bark was more like tossing the bark randomly on the ground.
Ellie is excited to be helping more around the house. (She just wants to do what Mum and Dad are doing). She now helps us empty the plastic-ware out of the dishwasher and places it in the cabinet. 
Ellie, Mum’s hat, a car seat, the tractor and an old shed. What a strange moment! The picture is so much better than the story that goes with it. 
Ellie knows many body parts; head, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, hands, fingers, tummy, tummy button, feet, toes, back, and bottom. Just be careful not to be very close if she is pointing to your eye, as you will get a finger in it.
