You can't make stuff like this up. Ella has a pencil, un-sharpened, which she calls her magic wand. I think it has stars on it and came in a party gift bag from some birthday gathering, so we just go with it. It's easier than sharpening the thing and then having to wipe the lead marks off everything in the house.
Just recently she's picked up on the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. She calls her "Boppity Boo." I recorded Cinderella III for her last week, and that was too scary. "Boppity Boo" was turned into a statue in the first few minutes by the wicked step-mother and Ella was reduced to tears.
But she does use those magical words when she's waving her wand around... "Bippity, Boppity, Boo!" She's usually trying to turn the dogs into a prince or a horsey or something... but last night Alex was her target. She sat behind him as he was loving mommy and daddy. She waved the wand and out came the incantation: "Bippity, Boppity, Boo, now you go away baby Alex!"
Perhaps all the birthday excitement has taken a toll on her need for attention. Perhaps she doesn't want to share all those fun new toys he received as birthday gifts. Perhaps, she's just ready to have mommy and daddy all to herself again.
Needless to say, after a few giggles, we discussed why we love having baby Alex around, how much fun she has with him in the tub or on their swing set, and how much he loves his big sister. I hope she's getting all this or he's likely to be turned in to a toad!
