Ella likes to build things. She makes inventions and contraptions (her words). She likes to make zip lines, instruments, flying machines, anything that looks cool and makes cool sounds.
Often, when she was in her pre-K program we'd emphasize to her how important it is to go to school and get an education. There are so many things she can learn about music and science and math and life in general. However, this completely interferes with her love of staying up late at night and sleeping in late in the mornings. What can I say, she's our kid. We like to stay up late, too.
One night, when we're trying to emphasize again how important school is, she starts building something. It involves silly bands (those crazy rubbery, stretchy bracelets that were the craze for a while) and a clothes hanger.
Ella: "I'm trying to learn how to make everything so that I can learn everything here at home and then I don't have to go to pre-school."
Turns out, she was trying to build a violin.
