Elsa and Me

Today, her siblings were off at doctors' appointments, dance lessons, and soccer practices with mom, so Elsa and I got to have some quality one-on-one time.  It was the most extraordinary day.  First we chased each other around the kitchen table for a while.  Then we sucked spaghetti noodles through our lips and made kissing noises.  We played fetch on the stairs and I held her by her feet upside down for a few minutes.  Then she looked up at me with her big brown eyes and said "poo poo."  She doesn't say many things I can comprehend, but she does know that phrase, and it's always appreciated.  Then we had some very important business to do out at the park with a slide and a sandbox so I helped her put her shoes on and she helped me put on mine.  We sang (or I sang and she shrieked) the ABC's the whole way down the sidewalk.  When we got back home, we threw things at each other for a few minutes and then turned the lights on an off, laughing at the difference, for what seemed like an hour.  Finally, we took turns putting stacks of paper cups on our heads and cracked up every time they fell off.  To be honest, when her mom came home and I had to speak to a real person with real words and sentences, I was a little sad to be out of Elsa World.
