Three going on Thirteen
Ellie and Josie were both playing at the Lego table but Ellie wasn't in so much of a sharing mood. Several times, when Josie was happily playing with a Lego, Ellie would reach across the table and just rip it right of her hands yelling "NO Josie!". After a couple of times of telling her to "be nice" I finally said "Ellie, it makes me very sad that you are not sharing with Josie. You are not making a good choice and I'm very disappointed in you." To which she immediately and very matter-of-factly replied (in her sweet little three-year-old voice)...
Well...Even though this made me laugh (so much that I had tears), this soon led to a time out for hitting... I'm trying to encourage only a loving sisterly bond here!
I'm very disappointed in Josie,
so were BOTH disappointed!

Playing at the Well
Ellie fell in love with this fountain when she first saw it at my uncle's house on the 4Th of July. She was mesmerized by the endless "bucket fills, bucket dumps, bucket fills, bucket dumps, bucket fills..." you get the picture. I didn't let her touch the fountain there but when I got ours and set it up, she had a BLAST playing with it. I was initially going to bury it in with the landscaping, but decided to just put it right on the back screened-in porch where she could enjoy it the most. I added the grass instead of the rocks that came with because Charlie Dog has been known to eat rocks. I also added the second bucket to catch some of the water for Charlie to get a quick drink while he waits at the door to be let in. I'm really happy with it!
The first thing Ellie thought of when she saw the fountain was "Jack and Jill". She repeated this several times!
I also caught her singing this.
