Ellie has been coming up with some pretty fun ones lately and I don’t want to forget them:

-While we were gone, she was sitting on the couch next to Grandpa and kept having gas. He commented on it briefly and awhile later, she looked back up at him and said, “I just had smoke.”

-Hannah gave Ellie a little magnifying glass that she had “purchased” for her with her Awana Bucks. We were driving home from Awana’s and stopped at the exit ramp for our house. As I came to a stop, Ellie said, “Are we in the distance now, Mom?”

I responded, “Um, yeah, honey.” Forgetting about the magnifying glass, and thinking yes seemed like the right answer.

“Good. I don’t need to use my mag-mi-fying glass right now.”

-It isn’t unusual for her to randomly kiss my belly. She’s been doing it for months now. That must be getting a little boring for her because the other day she gently knocked on it twice saying, “Knock, Knock”. She’ll be surprised one day soon when at the same moment he knocks back!

-Finally, we had a quick snow shower yesterday afternoon. It must have sparked her Christmas spirit because she was singing “Here Comes Santa Claus” all afternoon – you know, on April 23.
