Big Toddler On Campus. It seems we have one on our hands lately. It's too sweet - the twins next door, Hanna and Mary Grace, come over and ring the doorbell to ask if Ellison can come out and play. Ellison suddenly turns into a 10 year old, posing coyly at the door, crossing her legs, holding the door open by herself, and says, "You want to come in?". After hearing me and Jonathan tell the girls we'll all be out in a moment, after dinner, Ellison hollars out to them as they run off momentarily, "I be out in a minute, after dinner!". The girls just eat her up and are SO good with her! They are little spitfires of energy, and rattle off at a mile a minute. They informed me the other week that if I ever need a mother's helper, they'd like the job. :-) Often times, we'll all take off on a walk/bike ride, while the girls ride their bikes, and before you know it a few of the other neighborhood kids join us. Ellison loves every minute of it.
