Miss Smarty-pants

This morning, while Greg and I were acting as the bottom of a family dog-pile as all three children had joined us in bed once they woke up, Greg turned to me and whispered, "So, are we still thinking of going to the Z - O - O today?"  To which Ellie responded by jumping up with joy and shouting, "Yay!  The zoo!  The zoo!"

When did my two year old learn to spell!? 





This, of course, proves Annie wrong (see the below facebook status update I posted a few nights ago:)

Despite being in bed for OVER an hour now, the girls are still wide awake and bickering.  Right now Ellie is happily calling out random letters, "Q! E! I! J!" while Annie is wigging out and screaming, "You can't spell Ellie!  Those aren't even real words!  Stop saying letters, those aren't really words!"  You are only two, you don't know how to spell!"
For some reason, this only seems to be encouraging Ellie . . .

And what about the U T A H game... We all know how much Ellie loves to cheer on the Utes into the wee hours of the night?

She is amazingly smart and cute'.
