A Conversation (Sort Of)

Me: Eleanor, what are you doing?
Eleanor (Spinning in a circle) : I bizzy! (Translation: I'm dizzy!)
Me: You're a goof ball.
Eleanor: No I not. I a coconut!

Number 2!

A Day at the Beach

We went to Galveston over the weekend. Before hitting the beach we stopped for a bite to eat.

Here Eleanor waits patiently for her food.

Apparently, it was well worth the wait.

Then we changed Nora's clothes and let her play. She really enjoyed to water and the sand.

And then the ice cream man came and all thoughts except those of "Dora Ice Cream" were gone.

It was yummy!

While it lasted!

Here was the end result.

A quick dip cleaned her up and it was back to playing!

I'm Speechless

"I hold you, mommy!"

This does not mean that Eleanor is holding me or wants to hold me. It means she wants me to hold her.

I love that she says it this way and I'd be thrilled if she never said it any other way.

Craft

We made ornaments out of bakeable art dough last week and yesterday we painted them. We'll put magnets on the back of them. She's very proud of them.

She made such a mess I took her outside and hosed her down!

She had such a good time I think we'll make some Christmas ornaments soon.

A Conversation

The other day Eleanor was playing with my purse. Once she finished picking through it she slung it over her shoulder and started to the door.

"Bye, Mommy." she said.

"Bye. Where are you going?" I asked.

"Chips. I get chips." came the reply.

"Oh." I said. A few seconds pass.

"Stuck! Mommy, stuck! Door stuck!" she shouts when she can't reach the door knob.

I think I'm in for it when she gets her driver's license.
