Like a Mouse Without Cheese

Overall, Ellie seems to be managing well. She's getting lots of attention from her sisters (including today's photo shoot done by Addison), lots of time outside (including being the most amazing, focused helper with pulling weeds and planting flowers) and regular FaceTime learning and connection with her grandparents. But she misses Ms. Burnett, Lynnie, and being with her friends (especially Kinney). We try not to talk too much about the pandemic but the other night as we were snuggling for bed she wondered when the "coronavirus" would be over, tears shedding down her face, explaining, "I can't believe it's been a month since hugging my friends. Mom, it's like a mouse going a month without eating cheese!"

Tough to realize she knows the correct name of the disease and that she lays in bed thinking about these types of things, but I'm glad she has the words cuz I sure don't!
