We are hearing alot of fun phrases from Elli these days. We thought we would share a few of our favorites:
On the way home from church I see some goats and I say:
M:"Oh Look Elli, Billy Goats"
E: "Billy Goats? That is a funny word. But we can just call them goats also"
M:"Yes Elli"
E: "But we can call them billy goats too because they have belly buttons"
On the way to the toystore, Elli and Abby's seats are on opposite sides of the backseat:
E: "Mom, maybe we can put our seats together"
M: "Why Elli"
E: "Then we can do hugging and kissing in the back seat!"
On the way home from the temple. Kyle and I take turns going in and watching the girls:
E: "Mom, I can wear your skirt, then I can go in the temple too. Then when I am done I will come out and you can wear your skirt and go in!!!"
M: "Elli you are going to go into the temple someday and its going to be so wonderful!"
E: "Yeah, and you and Dad can stay outside and watch Abby"
Mom and Elli role playing introductions:
M: "Hello, what is your name?"
E: "Elli Holzer"
M: "Oh, nice to meet you Elli and where do you come from?"
E: "Daddy!"
M: "Oh and who is that (pointing to Dad and hoping to hear the word Kyle)
E: "Daddy Holzer"
E: "Mom, I am going to have children"
M: "Oh great! How many?"
E: "Four", "and they are going to be blue"
M: "Oh really?"
E: "Yes, and they are going to sleep in my bed. One on the top bunk and one on the bottom"
M: "Really? And wear will you sleep?"
E: "In mom and dad's bed"
After talking about our visit home to Grandpas house for the holidays"
E: "Mom I'm so cited to jump on the Grampoline!"
Coming home from Kindergarten
E: "Mom I learned to speak German today"
M: "You did?"
E: "Yeah, I can say 'sola' (spreading her arms wide)
[fyi: sola is not a german word]
M: "Wow! That's great!"
E: "Yeah, Elli can speak German and Daddy can speak German, but Mom, you can't speak German"
She's right!
