Ellie's kindergarten class has a pet (stuffed) octopus name Holly. Holly goes home with the kids on a rotating basis and the kids are asked to write in Holly's journal what they did with Holly that night (her teacher uses it as a writing prompt to encourage the kids to write...genius of her!).
Yesterday Tim picked the girls up from school. When I got home, Ellie was dressed up as a pirate and was hula-hooping with Holly stuck in her pirate shirt. Of course I took a photo of it. When Ellie sat down after dinner to write what she did with Holly, Ellie chose to write about hula-hooping. I love love love her...she is her own person in every way.
