Cheese.

Ho-Hum.

Every get totally bored during lunch...

Little Crib.

We thought that we would *punish* elle by telling her she had to sleep in the baby-doll crib if she couldn't stay in her bed...turns out - she loved it!!

Back to the drawing board.

Moon Pie.

She requested a banana and a cookie and some marshmallows for a snack - so imagine her excitement when I told her we could go buy a banana-flavored marshmallow cookie:

Early this past Sunday, elle decided that she needed to take her 'triples' out for a walk:

Flashback :: August 2007.

The Zooooo.

Despite being totally unprepared for the 105 degree temps, elle was a brave zookeeper and powered through the day.

For 3 hours, all she talked about was feeding the elephant - becauseaccording to her: "elephants love animal crackers."

We finally spotted the beast, and even though I told elle about the sign:



She threw it a cracker anyway. Luckily, the elephant couldn't reach the cracker with her trunk and laid down.

All of a sudden, elle starts crying because she thought she 'made his belly hurt."

We then spent the next 10 minutes looking for the elephant doctor...

Lion, Lion.

No Comment.

I can't think of any words that could possible describe how funny this picture of elle is - it has become my new screensaver:

To Sit.

We love her to death, but Isla is still a bit unclear on the concept of the chair:

Mmmmufffinnnsssss.

Zoologist.

After about 2 minutes of talking to the flock of flamingos - elle turns to me and says: "this is silly, these aren't real birdies."

Always thinking of others, elle decided that the camera needed some breakfast:

"You hungry, Mr. Camera? Want some of my eggs?"
