Bright and early, we headed out to the car dealership to get the oil changed. I do not know why it takes over an hour to change the oil… anyway, I took a picture of Ellie in the same chair that she sat in as a tiny baby. There is a BIG difference! Then, we meandered through town until 10am when Michael’s was having their decorate a T-shirt project. The plan was to make a T-shirt for Ellie, but they only had a few adult sizes and we were the first ones there… so, we made a shirt for Daddy. The hand prints are supposed to make the legs of a spider. The drips and drops are from Ellie struggling to get her hands ALL over the shirt while I directed her to only get the one area with open hand and not her fist and the spider web transfer to the other side of the shirt was from the wind blowing as we balanced baby, bag and shirt venturing into the Fall air. But, you know how a Daddy is… he will wear that perfect shirt well after Halloween!
When we returned home, the farrier was at the barn, so we joined him and made pleasant conversation as he worked. Ellie walked up and down the driveway carrying her new favorite toy, a plastic pumpkin… wait until she finds out what goes in it on the 31st!
Tonight, I asked Ellie if she would like to sleep in the crib or the bed, she very clearly let me know bed. Jeff didn’t believe she could make that choice until he watched. Ellie has never had a problem letting us know what she wants! She was only up once, but it took a little bit to get her back down and I finally just stuck her in the crib at 3am.
