Ellie says the darndest things!

I just have to write these things down before I forget!

After Libby got squirted in the eye today by the orange she was trying to peel, she felt it would be fitting to play doctor instead of house with Ellie. Libby obviously was the patient because her eye was stinging. Ellie was the doctor, the "girl doctor" she said. ( Our pediatrician is a man so she had to make the distinction.) Libby described her symptoms, and Ellie (who has an adorable stutter) said, " I have new eyes! I can get you another eye!" And then Libby started describing the surgery that Ellie would preform to put in the new eye. Ahhh, the marvels of modern medicine.

Last Saturday, we were at my mom's house where my sister Chelsea lives right now. Her daughter Michaela had just had a birthday and a package had come in the mail for her from her other grandma. It was an adorable homemade pony on a stick and Ellie was pretty jealous and you could tell by the way she ripped it right out of Michaela's hands. So, after Michaela got her pony back I reminded Ellie how she had just had her birthday and got lots of presents and now it was Michaelas turn. Ellie thought about this then said,"I want to get lots of presents on different day." I said what day? "I want lots of presents on a normal day!" And I'm totally with her on that one!

I was changing Milo's diaper, and Ellie started to yell "Peanut, peanut!" I was just ignoring her because I didn"t think she was talking to me. But Libby started laughing and said, "No Ellie it's a pe-nis not a pea-nut!" That was funny! I must say, I can see why she would call it that!
