Ellie

We decorated our house for Christmas this weekend. Part of our decorations if the Fisher-Price Little People nativity (batteries removed) that Ellie gets to play with. She's named all the animals, and makes sure that Baby Jesus is in the manger so that he doesn't get cold or anything.
Last night, we were on our way home from curling. Ellie had been feeling crummy all day, just stuffy nose, etc. She had water in her sippy cup, which had previously held orange juice, so it must have tasted funny. She was chatting away in the backseat, driving us nuts of course because she wouldn't shut up, when she asked, "Ellie have wine?" (We do occasionally give her a few drops of wine in her water when we have some for dinner) Lisa responded, "Not unless you can turn water into wine like Jesus." Ellie replied simply, "Ellie is Baby Jesus?"
Our child the Savior of the world, in her own mind anyway.
