I am taking the time to types these up because I know as time goes on I will forget and they are too cute to let slip away. I know I a bias but I do think my child has the funniest personality ever!! Two quick stories:
1. Let me set the stage - I am at Ellery's school picking her up at the end of the day. She has become particularly partial to a teacher there named Ms. C that she calls "Ms. Coco". Ms. Coco teaches 4 year olds and is usually on the playground when we are leaving for the day. The playground is right by the parking lot so everyday, Ellery wants to see Ms. Coco before we leave. This particular day I was a little late so Ms. Coco was already back in her classroom so we went to visit her there. PAUSE
I have to stop here and give you a brief background story so the rest of the above story makes sense. So, we all know the endless supply of batteries we must have on hand in order to make all of the many toys operate that exist in our houses. Heaven forbid we not have the right size or run out!! And you have to have your handy dandy screw drive that only works for these darn toys. I typically leave this task for Keith to take care of and just tell Ellery "it needs batteries and daddy will fix it". She has a music "thing" in her bed that she loves. It has a button you push to start the rain forest and music. It seems to always run out of batteries because it is used so often and sometimes it will go several days "broken" until "daddy can fix it". So now....every morning Ellery stands up in her bed and walks over to this toy, pushes the button and says "daddy fixed it!" or "batteries....daddy fix it". PAUSE
OK - now back to the other story. We were in Ms. Coco's classroom. All of the kids were off somewhere else and Ellery walked over to their big-kid toys and pointed at this bog globe. Ms. Coco picked it up and placed it on a small table in front of Ellery. She tried to spin it and then saw that it has neat little buttons to push that obviously should do something. Ms. Coco was quick to let her know that she didn't think it would work because it needed batteries. Ellery looked up at her sweetly and said "Daddy fix it!".
2. Setting the stage - bedtime in Ellery's room. Every night we out Ellery to bed together. She give us big kisses and then we lay her in her bed. She quickly jumps back up and says "daddy kisses" and he kisses her again. Then, "mommy kisses" and I kiss her. This would go on and on endlessly, but we have to shut it down. Two nights ago, Keith thought he would be funny and beat her to the punch. As soon as she layed down he said "daddy kisses". She looked up at him and let out a big sigh and exasperatingly said "oh gosh" and stood back up and gave him kisses. We have no idea where she learned this or or how to use it!!
