Jurassic Snack Thief?

This morning was fun.. despite it beginning with Ellie making the announcement, "I peed, Daddy," while standing up and pointing at her mattress as I walked into the room. It's pretty astounding, though, how eager Ellie is to help clean up. Both in general.. and while dealing with wet sheets. " I help with laundry, Daddy. I carry my blanket."

After getting dressed, but before heading downstairs, Ellie enjoyed pretending the size sticker on her new yellow shirt was a "boo-boo band" (Band Aid).






Ellie brought her trusty Cinderella phone with her to the bus stop again.



On the way into school Ellie and I had a pretty fun discussion. She pointed to the generator outside the Schrafft's Center (leftover from Irene, presumably) and asked, "What's that, Daddy?

Me: "It's a generator."

E: "A generator? What's that?"

Me: "It helps lights and computers and refrigerators come on during bad wind and rain outside."

E: "There's a dinosaur in that box (the generator), Daddy. It wants to eat my fruit snacks. My fruit snacks?" [She got some for being a very good helper at home.]

Then she ran away from it (pictured) while I laughed.



Once at school Ellie showed off some of her ballerina moves ("I'm a ballerina, Daddy. Not you.") and sat down and talked with the baby.
