My cutie

I guess in honor of a fast approaching Christmas, here are of few of My Favorite Things:

-Ellie's really cute words - please = "peas"; spoon = "poon"; and, Dora (her favorite character as of now) = "Doe-wuh." Also, her very simple sentences - "Hi Mama," "Hug Dada," and "Hand peas."

-Her insistence that every dog is "Bubba" (our nickname for Q), and that most every color is "green." In fact, we get into some heated debates on colors:

• Me - "What color is that?"
• Ellie - "Green."
• Me - "No, honey, that is pink."
• Ellie - "Green."
• Me - "Pink."
• Ellie - "Green!"

-Ellie's need for hugs during mealtime. There is virtually no other time of the day that she asks for hugs. However, about every third or fourth meal she will, several times during the meal, stop and ask for hugs.

-And her apparent need to, from time-to-time, take her crayons one-by-one and place them under herself so that ultimately she is sitting on all of her crayons and has none to color with.
