Some Random Thoughts
~Is it actually the last day of April? How did that happen??!?
~Ellie uses the word “actually” a lot in her sentences now. Wonder where she picked that up?
~Last week I dusted for the first time in…a long time. I also straightened up the dresser top for the first time in…a long time. Lo and behold! [...]
A Real Conversation
Just your average Monday morning around here…
Ellie: (smacks the couch) You got the bug!
Kristie: You killed a bug?
Ellie: (examines fingers, looking at bug remains) Yeah…
Kristie: Well…good job. Here, I’ll get you a tissue to wipe your hand.
Ellie: (puts her fingers in her mouth)
Kristie: Wait! Wait! Ellie, did you eat it?!?
Ellie: Yeah…
Kristie: Okay, next time we’ll [...]

A Real Conversation
Some friends of ours were visiting Taiwan from the US and brought us a bag of Hershey’s Kisses. (Yum!) A “big chocolate” is a Hershey’s Kiss, Ellie’s point of reference being the mini M&Ms she gets for going potty.
Ellie: You want a biiiiiiig cho-co-late. (she still mixes up her you/I pronouns, and when she [...]
Babies Don’t Keep
Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and [...]
Easter Fun
I’ll admit it. I completely dropped the ball as far as fun Easter activities for kids go. It makes me slightly sad, because I love coloring Easter eggs…but Jason had a Greek midterm two days after Easter and I flat out didn’t have it in me to motivate a big (or little) Easter undertaking.
We did [...]
