Ellery's Birthday Interview ~ Three

Elle's answers in purple.  Notes from the editor in orange.

• What are some things you like to do?  Dress up like a ballerina, I like to play with Layla.  (It's all about princesses.  She loves to play with the little princess figures or any other figures.  She usually has one in each hand at ALL times.)

• What sports do you like?  (Quizzical look- no comment)  ("Soccer is for boys, not girls."  We have some work to do in the sports department with this one!)

• What things do you like to do around the house?  Take pictures, run around, that's the end.  (She never takes pictures.  She does love to run around, and dance all over the house.)

• What are some of your favorite foods?  Marshmallows, no- not marshmallows.  Things that are squares- sandwiches.  And triangles like tia's (quesadillas).  (She does love quesadillas, and this girl eats carrots like it's no one's business.)

• What are foods that you don't like?  Cow milk.  (Even though she can now tolerate cow's milk, she wants no part of is.  Maybe it's all the times we said, "Cow milk hurts your tummy."  It's rice milk or nothing for Elle.)

• What do you like to wear?  In the winter I like to wear my things that are pink.  My tights.  (She hardly goes a day without wearing a skirt.  If she's wearing pants she'll want to change half way through the day into a skirt.  If she's listening to Taylor Swift or sees a princess on tv, she will NEED to wear her fancy Easter dress.)

• What’s your favorite color?  Pink!. . .and red and black and white and brown. 

• Where are some of your favorite places to go?  To Candyland, to the play place.

• What things make you happy?  Golly (her Little People girl).  Reading books.

• What makes you sad?  That mean book, when McKay pulls me and we fight each other and daddy says stop to fight each other.  

• What do you do when you are sad?   I don't know!  Wrestle and do jumping jacks.  (Um, usually she just cries or wants to snuggle.)

• What do you do when you are mad?  with hands on hips say,"I don't want to!"

• Who are your best friends?  Kenna and Kenzi.

• What are your favorite movies or TV shows?  Ariel, Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Aladdin and Jasmine- all of the princess ones.  (She's never seen Aladdin.  Caillou is her favorite show on tv.)

• What are your favorite books?  The princess books.  And Barbie books. 

• What do you want to be when you grow up?  Be a little momma.  (She's always talking about when she's a little momma.  Based on her interests though, she'd like to be a ballerina or a princess.)

• If you were an animal, what one would you be?  A princess named Golly.  (No Elle, what animal?)  Like a princess!  Golly!  (Okay, fine.)

• Who is your hero?  Golly.  (Elle, what about a real person?)  Um, McKay.  (Most definitely true.  She loves her older brother so much and is constantly copying everything he does, as well as bragging about him to just about anyone.  "My brother can tie his shoes!")
