The Awesomeness Continues!

Tonight was a night of mini-miracles.  Ellie actually ate what the rest of us ate, and she ate a lot of it!  She also drank from my very full, and very open, glass of tea all by herself.  As in, without any help, she picked it up and drank from it!

Then, Marty brought me his boy baby and said, "Hold dat for a minute, Mama."  I held the baby doll on my shoulder like a real baby and loved it for a minute.  Ellie reached out and took the baby from me.  "Oh no," I thought, "she's going to chew on it and Marty is going to come unglued."  I was wrong.

Ellie held the baby to her shoulder, wrapped her arms around him, leaned her cheek against his head, and loved him for a few seconds!  Then, she carefully laid him beside her in the chair and played with his fingers while she watched her "Tiny Planets" clip on my computer.

The princess is in that tower, and she's peeking out more and more often!
