Ellieisms

A girlfriend of mine does this with her children, and I think I should do the same.  I was writing them all down in my planner, but this way they will be easier to find.

• I can open the refrigerator because I'm so strong.  I have the muscles of a almost 4 year old...see? (while holding out her arms in muscle pose)
• I'll be the teacher, Daddy you be the Principal, and Mommy you be Ms. Mindy (her preschool teacher)...this seems to be one of her favorite "games" now.
• I like my new bed.  It's scary and all, but it's perfect. (We rearranged her room on Monday).
• What's your favorite food?  BROCCOLI!!!
• EK, where do you want to go eat?  Pizza Palace!
• I was asking her what she wanted to eat the other night for girls night...her response: Well, I'm not really feeling Chick-Fil-A, so let's get one of those cheeseburgers you dip in the gravy (an Arby's French dip)
• Mommy, look, I'm cleaning the bathtub to help you.
• oooohhhh, there's tracker barrel.  I llloooovvveee tracker barrel. (She's got her /k/ sound mastered now, but she still slips back into /t/ sound habits now and then.)
• Her favorite toys: "Mouse" the cat, Burger the cat, Kathryn her Bitty Baby, any of her Disney Princess babies or toddler dolls.
• Barbies:  Yeah, they're OK, but they're definitely not my favorite.  We don't have to have them if you don't want them. (This is her response after I excitedly found all my old Barbies, cleaned them up, and got them ready to play with in her Barbie house).
