For Christmas, Ellie got a doctor kit. She opened up it, very seriously, and took out the thermometer. It's the type you'd put under your tongue, but she's never seen a thermometer used that way, of course, so she stuck it right into her ear. How she knew that it was a thermometer - her ear thermometer looks nothing like that - is a bit of a mystery. She has seen regular thermometers before, of course, but only for under-arm usage. Anyway, now she loves to come up to us - very seriously - grab our ears, and shove the thermometer in. Then grin mischievously. Unbelievably adorable.
She also got a Little People House, and she is really into that. Paul was watching her play with it last night.
"Hey! Where's the daddy?" he said and came over to watch more closely.
Mom and baby were in the big bed together, and dad was out on the tractor busily plowing the carpet. Heh. Just like our real lives, all day every day! Mom and Ellie napping, while dad's out working on the farm. Database farm, I guess . . .
The house comes with some other furniture, including a kitchen table and chairs. Apparently, Ellie thinks that the chairs look like potty chairs. She's not far off. They're rounded, low, simple, white plastic chairs with a depressed seat (to fit the Little People, of course). Now whenever she's playing and wants to go potty, she grabs one of the chairs, says, "Potty!" and walks over to knock on the bathroom door.
Can it get any better than this?

What a cutie!!! She's gotten so big!
She's adorable.
Let me know if you want a copy of the Little People CD. Because of it, Meredith now knows all of the words to We Got the Beat--sung in the style of Little People. (She, too, loves her Little People house, and spends most of her house time making soap for the people. She calls them all Eddie.)
How cute!
Baby H got the Little Mommy check up center and every doll and stuffed animal has been receiving shots and medicine since Christmas morning.
We love Little People too! Casimir really plays on his own a lot with them too. And it came with this free video that he really, really digs for some reason. And GUESS WHO I think of when they talk about Sarahlynn? I think she's the one with the glasses. :)
Thanks, Chasmyn! I need to follow the directions to log into your site so that I can meet your little fellow.
Angela, that sounds perfect. I am going to have to get that CD.
CCW: how cute!
Eisbaer: I've got to see that video sometime. I've yet to meet any other Sarahlynn, plastic or real!
I don't believe it does get any better! One of my little boys got a doctor kit too. He went around giving everyone shots. That is the only shot I have ever enjoyed. Ellie is too cute. Glad I found your blog.
