things ellen said today that made me smile

*i was tickling and teasing her and pretending i was going to lick her stomach and she said, "no mom. licking is just for dogs." * we were going to play candyland and so she came into the kitchen and said come on mom. i took a bit longer than she liked and she came back and said "mom, you're not obeying." *i tell her i love her and she's a good kid when i put her to bed and she nods and whispers "thanks mom" isn't she so cute?? on another note, i'm not sure if it's because we got rid of the tv or because ellen is now officially two and a half, but during the last week or so she seems to be coming out of her i'm two funk. it's quite fun.
