Lollipop!

Went to the bank today.  Even though we kindly ask the teller not to give us the disgusting and sweet lollipops, she puts one for each person in the car into the receipt envelope for us.  I usually just throw them away.  However, today Ellie was wearing yellow and one of the lollipops was yellow, so of course I had to let her try her first lollipop!  Eerie similarities to the frustrating thing people do... "Yuck!  This is disgusting!  Here, you try it..."  Anyway, Ellie did try the lollipop and she LOVED it!  Went right into the bathtub afterward.

We had an interesting couple of men park down the driveway in front of the barn, today.  The dogs were barking, but I would not have been able to get out there fast enough to greet them, so I took out binoculars to see who they were.  They did have a small business label on their car, but that is as far as I will go.  It is a little particular to have people parking and then wandering around the barn, so Jeff and I were watching them closely.  One gentleman had some paperwork and he was reaching over the fence trying to pin the papers to the wall with the light switch protective cover.  That is when Jeff and I had to let them know we were here at the house.  Both of us start yelling.  The yelling got their attention and they got back in their car and I met them at the end of our driveway.  Seems they are in the horse feed business or getting into it.  I took their paperwork, but we would never buy feed from people goofy enough to try putting paper where the horses would eat it... I was very nice about it.

Last night was a little warm and I did not cover Ellie with her yellow blanket.  Instead, I hung it on the side of the crib.  I am not sure if she pulled it down some or if I put it that way, but when I went to check on her before going to bed myself, she was sleeping with her head on the corner.  This made for an odd sleeping position, pinned along the top, short side of the crib.  Thought little of it, until this evening.  It was very hot this evening, I put her in shorts and short-sleeved top pajamas.  I also folded her blanket and put it over the top of the crib making a point to note that it did not touch the crib mattress.  I went in later and she had pulled it down, as before and slept with her tiny, little head on the corner of the blanket, blanket edge clutched in her fist.  Pings on your heart strings!  Cute enough for a picture, but I am not brave enough to chance waking her up!
