I discovered that Ellie is smarter than we thought. On Wednesday night, Lisa was off at choir practice, and I was home with Ellie. We were reading books, and Ellie brought over her favorite book, "Busy Doggies." And as I started to read it, she said, "No! Ellie read it!" So I said, "OK, go ahead," figuring she would just turn the pages. Then, to my surprise, she started reading it! "Busy doggies, what they doing? Doggies greeting, doggies eating." Holy cow! She must have memorized the whole thing after reading it so often. She made it through the whole book, with just a little prompting from me (I had to correct her "Doggie in da water" to "Doggie diving", but that was about it). She continues to amaze us every day.
