Duck and Goose

Elli wanted to play duck, duck, goose. I told her it was a little hard to play with only two people. She said, "that's okay. We'll call it duck and goose." We began playing and then she didn't pick me to be goosed. I looked sad and she turned around, after starting to run, and said, "Don't worry sweetie. I'll pick you next time." So she outran whoever was chasing her and came back to "duck" again. This time she picked me. I was so thrilled! So on and on we played for about 15 minutes. Fun times being an only child with a crazy mommy!

A little side story that I want on the blog. One day at the pool, Brent and I were tossing Elli back and forth. We stopped for a break and Elli looked at Brent and said, "Daddy throw me in the air so I can fly like an angel." Love it!
