Fly on the Wall

I love listening in on Elle and her conversations with her friends. They are so innocent and unique to this time in their life. It is interesting to see what children pick up from their parents. Their vocabulary can be unique to the family. Common phrases used frequently by that parent are repeated by the child. She has become my shadow. Today, during my workout, she washed the same six dishes over and over for more than 20 minutes. In the end, she was so proud of herself. She looked so cute standing on her stool at the sink with her little apron on. This task was repeated when we came home today. She was so thrilled her daddy had left a few dirty dishes in the sink. Oh if only this desire to wash dishes carried over into her teen years!
