A Pair of Twos
Another of my personal saviors is my buddy, Ginger, who bravely stepped in and invited Elsie to spend the day with her daughter Camille--yes, a pair of two-year olds. Here are some live shots of what Elsie and Camille are up to today: coloring, a tea party involving pouring syrup on pancakes, independent reading at the library story time, and at this very moment, a nap (sans photos). We became friends with Ginger and Lee and Camille because Elsie needed a friend her age--and while that is true, what has become equally as valuable is sharing the day-to-day of mommying with Ginger for me. That is truly priceless!

Brave Beach Babies
For pale folks, like David and me, the fall can be the best time at the beach. It may be a bit cold for swimming... or maybe not. We have spent a couple weekends this month over at HHI and both times it was impossible to keep Elsie out of the water. Johnny and Kate allowed his sisters and their families to crash their relaxing getaway and make it, well, not really relaxing anymore. It was great fun for us, and hopefully for J and K too--fishing and football, bike rides and boiled crab, and Bryce and Elsie at full speed.
With Elaine undergoing a repair surgery and recuperation, my mom once again swooped in to help us out, and after taking care of Elsie for a week in Savannah, we headed over to HHI for more beach fun... Elsie did ask where Bryce and Mike and Bawbwa, Kate and Johnny, Abby and Tug were repeatedly--discussing who was there as much as who wasn't.

Syntax
Everyday, more often than not, Elsie is speaking in full sentences. Here are a couple heard repeatedly the past few days. Of course, these don't take into account a weekend full of instructions for cousin Bryce over at Hilton Head--we'll save those for when we upload those pics.

- Whatcha doin' Daddy?
- How'd you sleep?
- Look, Oscar, what a cutie.
- I sleep well.
- Good job, Mommy!
- Look, Daddy, I'm cute.
- I tinkle on potty.

Elsie-isms
Elsie loves to count--her favorite number is eleventeen. It appears twice when counting from 10-20.
When trying to corral a group of people to do what she wants, Elsie calls out "hey everyguys, come'ere, come'ere. Come'ere everyguys." I'd say it works much better than "that one."
And we need to get video footage of the pledge of allegiance, riddled with Elsie-isms.
