Elena Quotes of the Day

I congratulated her on her first trip out of the house (to the grocery store) without diaper or pull-up, which occurred today.  She even took advantage of the public restroom while we were there.  She accepted my praise by saying matter-of-factly: "That's my job!"

Later, playing in the house, she declared that she was older than me.
"Are you?"  I replied, distracted by something I was doing on the desktop.
"Well,"  she amended, "I'm older than Avery."
"Oh," I said.  "How old are you?"
"I'm three." (pronounced "free") "So I'm tiny and fly-ee."
