Pterodactyl-Octopus Girl

That is Elise's new super hero name. She swoops in from above with a screech like a Pterodactyl and then gets into everything with her hands and feet, which it seems like there are at least 8 of. She has been enjoying knocking over the block stacks I've been making and then flailing all those arms and legs to see how far the blocks go. I got the camera to record this behavior, but the moment I start recording, she became this docile, well behaved book reader, and sat quietly turning the pages. When she saw the great block stack all ready for her, she calmly reached out and tipped it over, then went back to 'reading' her book, all smiles for the camera. It was amazing. no Pterodactyl shrieks, no octopus arms. She didn't even try to get all the things off the shelves or out of the drawers or boxes as she has taken to doing lately. Maybe this is a good thing for Mommy to learn. If you want a calm girl, turn on the camera! Although we do have a good time playing with Pterodactyl-Octopus girl! She discovered that when she's in the bath tub and makes loud noises, (calling to the other Pterodactyls no doubt), it echoes. What an adventure bath time has become! We've taken to having bath time after lunch, so as not to disturb the neighbors so much in the evening when they get home from a long day of work. Imagine, you come in, sit down to a nice relaxing dinner, and next door some little girl shrieks like a primitive animal and it echoes around the bathroom. Not so relaxing. So, we're off to another afternoon bath time adventure, and are so grateful for all the neat floating toys Elise has received, and loves to chew on, while splashing away! And to any who want to spice up their life, you can try to see if Pterodactyls screeches echo in YOUR bathroom! Enjoy!
