It's Circle Time!

One of my favorite things to do is Circle Time.

We do it at school with the teachers and my friends. I also do it at home with mommy and daddy, my stuffed animals, and sometimes even clover!

Me: "Ok, everybody get in a circle, It's circle time. My name's Ella and I'm the teacher. Anybody have a show and tell?"
Momma, or Daddy: (raises hand) "I brought a show and tell. This is Elmo, and he's riding on a train, and it's blue and it has wheels, and..."
Me: "...OK, put it in your cubby." (I just can't wait for them to put it in their cubby. And they have to put in the right cubby. Otherwise, I need to fix it.)
I tried to get clover to do show and tell, but she doesn't speak words so I had to do the show and tell for her.

Then Mommy or Daddy are the teacher and I get to do show and tell, and I always put my show and tell away in the cubby when I am done with my show and tell.

Doll (Critter) house

Cousins Lou, Davida, Chloe, and Noah came over and Chloe gave me her Critter house.
I call it a doll house.
My parents have to brush my hair, clean my face, feed me etc in front of the Critter house.

Hey Nandini, look at these cuddles!

Not only do I like to cuddle but I like to announce it to people when I do.
(sorry no pictures at this time)

Got shades?

In preparation for our upcoming vacation to Florida, Mama got me some new Supergirl sunglasses! They definitely look best on me, but Mama looks pretty good in them too. Check us out!

Sweet then semi-sour

I was so happy today because my former teacher, Gloria, came to the preschool this afternoon. Also, her son Santiago. He's my friend. I gave them and Sandra big hugs when I left. Dad told me we were going to the museum, so I told them "I'm going to the museum!"

We got in the car and drove to the train. I said "I'm so excited." We watched the train come and got on. We sat on the seats and held onto the bars. We got off at the museum, and it was fun. We saw some statues and paintings and chairs, and beds. Then we got a book and went home on the train. The conducter let us on even though we didn't have enough money on our pass.

We played in the park with John, Sun Young, and Faith and other dogs and we saw Michelle and JJ, and played in the playground.
Then I told dad I wanted chocolate for dinner. That did not go over well. We engaged in a debate over the matter. Dad won. I cried but then ate a turkey meatball, cucumber, tomato, carrots and banana.

I tried to put up a fight going to bed too. Dad apologized when he pulled my hair by mistake, and I said, "I'm sorry, dad" when I hit my head against his by mistake.

Using my strong rhetorical skills, I convinced dad to read two stories, and then sing some songs.

I refused to brush my teeth. Dad told my my teeth would not be clean and that I would have to brush every morning and evening going forward. I am not yet convinced.

sour then sweet

After a rough start to the evening where dad carried me crying out of the pre-school (not the school, that's for toddlers.) we patched things up, ate dinner and had a peaceful transition to bedtime. I smiled at dad, patted him on the chest, and lay on his chest. Then I went into bed, dad sang some songs, and I said "I'm going to say "Te amo." When he left the room, I said "Te amo, dad."
