Sunday Erin took Leo while Ellie and I enjoyed Girl’s Afternoon at Target. The trip was necessitated by a need for more underwear for Leo. A lot more.
But I digress.
It was so interesting to be alone with Ellie. I don’t know if it’s because her little personality gets steamrolled by Leo (otherwise known as the Greeter of the World who has to say Hi to everyone). But it turns out Miss Ellie is perhaps the runner-up in the Greeter of the World contest. On Sunday she said hi to pretty much everyone within earshot. I know I’m her mother but it was so adorable, her tiny little voice and these shocked people who heard her speak and then did sort of double-takes. Was this little person talking to them?
I also noticed how relaxed I felt. And how nice it was to not be spending so much time on “damage control,” that is, keeping Leo from grabbing everything Ellie touched, as well as keeping Ellie from aggravating Leo to death. It was good for both of us. Note to self: more of this (for each kid).

It's kind of amazing to me how easy it seems to take just one kid.
