It amazes me how much Ellie knows. She knows that Mommy's name is Kara and Daddy's name is Nick. She knows her numbers (up to 20 when she wants to), ABC's, and will regularly point out the letter "E" on various signs around town. "E" for Ellie, and Elizabeth (a girl in her day-care class) and Elmo.
She also knows that she lives in Waukee (sort of). She has been asking where everyone lives... Grandma and Grandpa with the marbles live in Ames, Grandma and Grandpa with the pool table/kitchen set also live in Ames, Aunt Megan, Mike and Liam live in Ankeny, Sophia and family live in Waukee (this one she didn't have to ask, she knew and informed us about) and Henry and his family live in Des Moines. We tried to explain to Ellie that her house is in Waukee, but the condo she is living in right now is in West Des Moines. I am not sure if she understood how that all works. But it got me thinking... over the past year we have lived in:
Norwalk
Johnston
Waukee
Ankeny
West Des Moines
... and hopefully soon back in Waukee. That is a lot of different places to live in over the course of a year, and even more crazy is that we had a baby during that period of time as well. I am ready to live in Waukee and not move for a long time.
The point of the post: I think my daughter is pretty smart. And I am tired of moving around.
