The lines from Ellie just keep-a coming!

Well, I must say, my patience was wearing rather thin as he continued to fuss, and then Ellie began to fuss too. So in desperation I said to Ellie, "Ellie, I think you need to pray for me.

And this is what she came up with!
Everything lately is, "do it myself", which is actually kind of nice...especially because we're having to help Ellie less and less on the potty. This is Ellie's pants put on by herself...inside out. Nice plumbers crack, too.I absolutely love this age.

I love Ellie's prayer! That's awesome!
