Happy Birthday, Ellen Claire!


Happy 4th Birthday, Ellen Claire! We had a very simple day for EC. She had her family gifts in the early morning and then was able to celebrate at school with her new friends. I was the Mystery Reader in her class, which was a real surprise to EC. We read "The Monster at the End of this Book" starring Grover--only one of my top favorite kid books :-)

Ellen Claire loves her new bike basket, horn and helmet so much! She is "hell on wheels" on that thing! She NEEDED the helmet to protect her noggin, for goodness sake! Not since the days of Will Piedmont have I seen or experienced anything like Ellen Claire!! But when did she start turning into a real kid and not a toddler anymore? You should hear her sentences and her imaginative stories. She comes home and plays school, just like Meg used to do. She can even spell outloud her first name. She can write ECP, but we've got to get her off of saying her name is ECP :-) But to all of us, she'll always be ECP!
