This morning Ellie asked that I put on Cinderella -- but not *all* of Cinderella. "Can I watch Cinderella going to the ball and losing her glass slipper and getting married?" That really only amounts to about 19 minutes of the movie, but I guess those are the good parts.
While watching the scene where the Prince greeted the ladies at the ball Ellie practiced her curtsies.
Ellie also likes to "get married" -- to just about anybody or anything. What she calls "getting married" is simply holding somebody's (or some doll or stuffed animal's) hand and running, then "sitting down in your pumpkin carriage" and "waving to all the people" -- like Cinderella does at the end of her movie.
After that we played in the basement for a while and spent a bit reminiscing about Ellie's birthday party. She sang "Happy Birthday" to herself, too.
(Upon arrival at school Ellie even thanked Meara, Kiernan, and Chadwick for coming to her party -- unprompted. She would have thanked her other school friends who came, but it was only those three attendees at school before I left.)
Before we even left for school, though, Ellie did some more movie reenactment. This time lifting "pretty lanterns (balloons) high up into the sky like Rapunzel."
