ms. ellie has the uncanny ability to come up with some CRAZY names for her baby-doll sister. i fear that she has gained this not-so-great talent from me...but i limit my name-calling to a few per person. ellie has come up with a whole slew of names for one little sister! what is even more amazing is that sophie actually responds to her sister when being called one of the dozens of names! for example, lately she refers to sophie as "paper." but she says it like "paaaapppuuurrrr!" very funny. sophie walks in a room and ellie says, "here comes paaaapppuuuurrr." other favorites: soda-pop or soda-poppie; icecream sandwich; princess so-so; stink-stink; baby (pronounced "babeeeee"). slowly, sophie is recovering from an old-time favorite: pepperoni. this was actually borrowed from dear cousin dylan. when ellie is feeling silly she will call sophie her little peanut butter or macaroni. when ellie is feeling not-so happy, she refers to sophie as her bad sister. uggghh. not good. sophie is often called so-so by all of us, but ellie adds a twist of so-so-soda-poppie. ellie's favorite line in the book, cat in the hat: "and so, so, so...here is another good trick that i know..." yes, big sister has all sorts of tricks.
