1. Ellie is still obsessed with the Little House books (we just started the sixth one today). I'm typing as she plays Polly Pockets (my little window to her soul) on the floor at my feet. She made one say, "Now we have to move the homestead." Then she replied with another one, "Oh, Ma, do we have to?" "Yes, girls. Now be quiet. All's well that ends well."
She also used the phrase "gulping and aching" that we read in a chapter an hour ago, and this morning at preschool, she told me that "S" is for "sod." Not a common word for little kids.
2. Ellie told me that when she grows up, she wants to be a "police." When I asked why, she said, "So I can help the cars that are in accidents and drive around and look at cars. I'll have to go to police school and drive my own police car. Mama, will you teach me how to drive a police car because I don't know how to do that?" I told her that if she went to police school, they would teach her that there. "Okay," she said. "But you'll have to drive me to police school." Again, I'm reminded of what little understanding she has of being "grown-up."
