Neigh Neigh

Ellie took to Neigh Neigh sometime in the fall I believe. She loves to sleep with him and pretend to ride on him. His poor neck is getting so floppy from how she holds him.

She really has an affinity for animals. She loves girlie things like princess and jewelry, but animals tend to be at the top.

Her other love is music. She sings and plays her pretend instruments. Over the weekend her and ED came to visit me at a local 5k that I organize. Ellie was insistent for days that she bring her plastic drum with her to play for the runners as they cross the finish. She brought it and played that drum with pride.

Dinner conversation

Tonight at dinner, and seemingly out of nowhere, Ellie said "damn." Here's what followed:

Me: What?
Ellie: Damn.
EM: Why did you say that?
Ellie: My Mickey phone is broken.
(EM and I struggle to contain our laughter.)
EM (to Ellie): That's not a nice word. Don't say that again.
EM (to me): I blame you.

Eater Egg Hunts

These pics are a little late. They are from Easter weekend. Ellie had a great time with two Easter egg hunts. Her favorite part was eating the jelly beans.
