Ellie the new driver

When Tim got home from work today - Ellie went outside to meet him and wanted to get in "daddy's truck". Tim put her in the back seat and she climbed her way to the front driver's seat. She was ready to go. She sat there trying to turn the wheel, pretending to shift the car in drive (yikes!), and play with all of the buttons. She played in his car (with supervision) for about 20-30 mintues. She is 2 going on 16 - ready to drive! Yikes - help me!

Tim and I were later sitting watching American Idol and we noticed that Ellie was not making "soup", feeding her baby, or bouncing wildly on her horse. Tim looked over and she had drug her Dora chair in the dining room (I guess where there were no people singing Mariah Carey) so she could read her book. It was so cute! There she sat, reading all by her self. I guess she has been watching mommy do the same - sitting here reading...that is what our days have come to!
