Trick

"HA! I tricked you! I do want to wear a coat."

Proud, proud, proud.

"I'm thinking about being a teacher when I grow up."

Haha!

Me: "When I take my work trip next week, who are you going to miss more, Me or the iPad?"

Elizabeth: "The iPad... Wait! YOU'RE TAKING IT WITH YOU??"

Happy birthday Elizabeth!

"This is a great day. It's my birthday, and the class is going to sing to me! I'm also the Special Helper! AND IT'S LIBRARY DAY!!"

We love Sojourner

Grampa: "How's school going?"

Elizabeth: "Good. We've been looking at the paintings of Matisse."

Bubble bath

"I know! Let's play SURPRISE BEARD!!"

Yee-haw?

(A commercial for a rodeo is on TV...)

Elizabeth: "What the..."

Me: "That's a bull rider at a rodeo."

Elizabeth: "The bull does NOT look happy."

YES

"I wish the news really would tell us if it was going to snow."

We're mostly unaffiliated

Elizabeth's Friend: "I have to root for the Beavers. Do you like the Beavers?"

Elizabeth: "Um... I actually root for the Ducks."

EF: "You don't like the Beavers?"

Elizabeth: "No."

EF: "Why?"

Elizabeth: "We do like the Beavers, but we like the Ducks a little bit more."

(later.....)

EF: "Why do you like both teams?"

Elizabeth: "Well, my dad roots for both of them. So I have to."

The Brain!

(While brushing teeth...)

Elizabeth: "There's one part of your body that needs rest, but it's the same part that wants to stay up: The Brain. Your brain needs a lot of rest, but it says 'I want to stay up and THINK!' but it needs rest, but it doesn't want to rest."
