Ellie-isms

Ellie has always had a great vocabulary. Once she started talking - she talked in full sentences.
And let me tell you - she never stops!
But lately, her speech seems to have advanced to a whole new level.
Now, she really converses . . . she picks up on nuances of speech . . . and totally understands sarcasm.
Here are a few examples . . .
Drew was playing with Ellie on a blanket and said "Daddy, will you roll me up into a burrito?." But when he did, she got claustrophobic and started screaming. When he unwrapped her she looked completely hurt and said "Daddy, I wanted to be a taco!"
Some kids say no, some whine - but Ellie's phrase of defiance:
"It's not possible!"
Tonight at bedtime:
"I'm really tired, Mommy. You better only give me 2 more kisses."
And just for your viewing pleasure, here are a few shots of Drew and Ellie's outing to the pumpkin patch!
The perfect pair - a pumpkin and a worm
