Ellie's Many Children

This morning, after Ellie played a game of Memory with Isaac, she pretended to bake cookies with the Memory cards and spread them all over the dining room table. Then she brought out her stuffed animals and set them around the cookies. They were her "children." She proudly informed me that she had 21 children (between stuffed animals and lots of pretend ones) and they were all eating cookies right now.

"Wow," I said. "How do you take care of so many children?"

"I put them to sleep while I do all my things and make their food," she answered. "That way I can do my things and they get lots of sleep!"

Why didn't I think of that?

I think maybe you would've tried that had Ellie ever slept for you ;) Apparently her children actually take naps ;)
