Elly Can Write

So far she can do Elly, Mom, and Dad.

Elly Quotes

One of Elly's favorite books is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"

Today she said this to her dad while looking at his hair:

"White hair, white hair, what do you see? I see a brown hair looking at me."

He's only 29, folks.

Elly Quotes

Elly: (singing) "Oompa loompa doompaty doo. I've got another present for you."

Elly Quotes

Lacy: "Elly, why didn't you just listen to Mom in the first place?"

Elly: "Mom, why are you in the first place?"

Elly Quotes

Brandon: "Elly, what are you doing on the iPod [Touch]?"

Elly: "I'm sending an email to my friends."


(earlier in the day while Brandon was looking at iPods online)
Elly: "Dad, I want an iPod."

Brandon: "We already have one."

Elly: "But I really want my own iPod."

More Ballet

Elly Quotes

Elly, referring to her baby doll: "Mom, you are the dad and I am the mom."

Me: "Ok."

Elly: "The dad is going to feed the baby while the mom watches a show."


Hmmm. Is that how it really goes around here?

Elly the Ballerina

Elly just started taking a ballet class. Here's a little peak of what she did on her first day.

Elly the Jumping Robot

Elly Quotes

Elly: (While crawling around on all fours) "Mom, guess what I am."

Me: "What?"

Elly: "A puppy, instead of a woman."

I suspect that this comes from the following exchange a few weeks ago:

Brandon: "Elly, why are you crying?"

Elly, through sobs: "I don't know!"

Brandon: "You truly are a woman."

Improv Dance

This is how Elly entertained herself while I shopped at H&M one day last summer in Seattle.
