Leaf Eater
My new favorite thing is playing outside with Ellie. It's so funny to put her down on the grass bare foot and watch her figure out what that prickly sensation is. Of course she always figures out that it is a good thing and proceeds to romp around the yard eating every leaf in her path. She especially likes the cart in the yard that holds the garden hose. Every time she sees it she starts racing over to climb on it. I never let her of course because I don't want to have to change her clothes after they get all dirty from it.Being outside feels so good when it's warm and sunny. It makes the day go by so much faster, everyone is way happier and Ellie loves it. She loves the little baby playground swings and just laughs while I push her. It's hilarious.
What's the deal with March? It's like 65 one day, and the next day I wake up and everything is covered in snow? Irritating. Plus the new car is black and even though I wash it every week it always looks filthy from the little storms.
I can't wait for summer to get here, and for a California winter
next year.
*Funny story. Last time I played outside with Ellie she was on a
roll eating leaves as fast as possible before I could grab them from her. After we had been back inside the house for about 45 minutes she spit out this little brown thing. After investigating the little surprise package that came from her mouth, turns out IT WAS A LEAF! It was all folded into a nice little bundle and she had been storing it in her mouth for almost an hour. Funny little girl.

i think ellie is a little bug. bugs eat leaves, crawl around everywhere...even places they aren't supposed to be...bugs are cute and little (well, lady bugs are), and bugs LOVE the sunshine.
our cute little ellie bug.
I love these stories. You are having such precious times with your little girl. She is very lucky and so are you. What a cute little pair you are.
