Too Cool for (Pre)School

Parade

Here I am with the girls at the St. Patrick's Day parade.



Even though this was not the first parade Ella has been to, she sat and stared big-eyed at everything. Especially the Clydesdales.
Lucy just chewed on her blanket and took it all in stride.

I'm Gonna Mail Myself To You

Stickers have oh so many uses when you're a toddler.

I'm gonna wrap myself in paper,
gonna dab myself with glue,
stick some stamps on top o' my head,
I'm gonna mail myself to you

Stevie Wonder Time

There is a particular part of the morning I call Stevie Wonder Time. This is when Lucy hasn't quite woken up yet, but is beginning to stir. She'll turn her head from side to side, like she can't quite decide which side is more comfortable. It looks like a slow, sleepy impression of Stevie Wonder.

PolitenessGirl!

Mom: "Ella, do you want to go for a walk and ride in the stroller?"

Ella: "No, thank you, I'd rather go play in the back yard."

Ah, the little victories in teaching manners...

Won't You Take Me To Ellatown?

Just one example of Ella's genius for building. Future architect? Sculptress? Social critic? Toddler?

You be the judge.
