Eliana's Favorite Movie
Kristy had a meeting this afternoon so she left me with a couple of kids napping (she will usually find a sitter, but she couldn't locate one today). Eliana woke up about an hour ago. I heard her wandering around upstairs, so I went up to fetch her. I found her in her new bathroom covered with the fine dust that has been generated by the tile guy cutting stone. I brushed her off and brought her downstairs.

Eliana's favorite movie, by far, is "Woody Buzz" - better known as Toy Story. Since I'm still busy at work (but I guess not too busy to write this blog entry!), I queued up Toy Story on the DVD player knowing that this was a sure fire way to keep her in one place for an hour and a half. Since I started the movie, I've had the door to my office cracked to I can listen for evidence of her scampering away; she hasn't moved, but instead is content to sit on the couch in the family room and chatter back at the movie... which she has been doing for the past half hour.

(Woody is trying to knock Buzz Lightyear behind the bed using RC)

"Watch out Buzz!", blurted out Eliana.

(pause... I hear the movie audio for RC hitting the cork board, the cork board falling, the globe rolling, and then the lamp knocking Buzz out the window and falling to the ground below)

"Oh, no!", cried Eliana.

She's seen the movie a dozen times (at least). It's funny to listen to her warn the characters about impending danger and then react, almost in surprise when what she knows will happen in the movie, actually happens. She's cute.
