Ice, Ice, Baby


Another favorite word is Rocky--"Ocky." Elsie adores Rocky--Rocky and Oscar both. Dog words--"Ocky," "Ocar," "Doggie," "Woof Woof"--these are often her first words of the day.

And then Poppa is another favorite word. Poppa means grandfather, yes, but it really means the guy who taught me to wink. She loves winking now and ice after our week at HHI. Ice makes Elsie really really happy--ice from Poppa's gin, the best you could hope for. And when we say "Poppa" or when she sees him coming she calls out "ice-y, ice-y." Poppa will be sure to get his granddaughter some "yummy ice-y" in her stocking this Christmas, or maybe just out of his gin.
