Ellie LOVES to play the ‘where’s Eloise?’ Where she covers her eyes and I make a big show of looking for her, she uncovers her eyes and we all say ‘there she is!” She LOVES that game and plays it every chance she gets, including dinner. A fair bit of dinner is usually spent playing ‘where’s eh-weeze?’
Last night I was at a bachelorette party and missed dinner. When I got home Nic informed me that Will invented a new ‘where’s eloise’ inspired by the movie Tangled, in which it goes something like “oh no! Ellie’s a lost baby! Where’s the lost baby?” “There’s the lost baby—the found baby is home!” and “is the lost baby outside?” and such spin-offs of a general ‘lost baby’ theme.
This morning after church we had one of our best breakfasts at the Egg and I since Ellie’s arrival to the scene. She was very mellow and relaxed and we spent a long time just sitting and hanging out. At one point she initiated a game of where’s eloise, and Will said “No! We have a new Where’s Eloise’ game now! It’s ‘Where’s the lost baby?’ ” and he outlined the new dialog.
Ellie is so lucky to have a 5 year old big brother to keep her favorite games fresh!
