Carpentry

Ellie has been enjoying carpentry at school where she makes airplanes.  On this day, we had some wood left over from our bathroom project and Ellie wanted to do some work.  She hammered the nails into the wood and then inside decided to use the wiggly eyes she had on the wood.  Then Ellie wanted to take a picture and grabbed my phone and without me showing her how to take a picture she simply took a picture.

Rain

While Ellie doesn’t necessarily like the rain; she does love puddles, playing in the water and her new umbrella.

Puzzle Stickers

Victoria was away for the weekend, I was busy vacuuming and Ellie was occupying herself.  Then she came to me and said mom will be happy with her.  I didn’t understand what she was talking about until I looking in the active book she was holding.  Without any instruction, she figured out to count the computers and put the correct number sticker next to each group.

Panda’s Breakfast

Panda has just woken up, is still in his sleeping bag and hungry.  Ellie brought up the panda food in the Tupperware and juice in the Sippy bottle.

Game with Spike

Ellie and Spike have a new game they play together. Ellie will run up to him, make a loud high pitch sound and then Spike runs off.  Then Ellie will chase him and once Spike stops and sits, it is Ellie turn again.  I am not sure that Spike understands it is a game and not just the crazy girl running and making loud noises.

Worms

Last weekend Ellie said "There is a worm in my pocket, that is great."

Singing

On the way home from dinner last night, Ellie started singing and clapping in the car.  She has been singing this song for a while but never clapping. 

The video is rough as I was sitting next to her and not looking at what I was recording.

Who left the gate open?

Ellie and I were feeding the alpacas before we went in for our dinner.  After dinner, as we were getting ready for bath time, I looked outside and was surprised to see the alpacas in the backyard.

Statement at lunch

Ellie; "Wow, look at the bag!"

This was Ellie's statement when she spotted a purse that she liked at lunch.

Conversation at Dinner

Ellie: “Let’s talk to each other.”  
Victoria: “What should we talk about?”
Ellie: “Let’s talk about me.”
