Hello there!
Ellie would like to share a few things she's been up to lately, but hold on - she has to take a call.
Ok, she's back. She wanted to say Happy Birthday to her big brother Jacob - a decade of so much love and gentleness thanks to that boy in our family.
Opening some presents - Ellie says "when do we eat cake people"?
Now for Ellie's big news...much to our
disappointment,
hesitation,
regret,
defeat, EXCITEMENT - Ellie can now get herself on a chair at the school table. We tried to stop it. We tried to push in the chairs and move the chairs away from the table when we weren't there...but of course that's not practical in a house full of budding artists and mathematicians.
So, here she is - saying "I'm ready for some vocabulary".
"What did the nice people leave within my arm's reach?"
Ellie once again proving she really is just like the rest of the bunch here.
And so we push the crayons to her, try to keep all the expensive books on a different shelf and watch her get herself down safely by turning herself backwards and putting her feet on the floor.
We'll make room for you girl, you teach us more than we could ever teach you anyway.
