Introductions

As we were checking out at the doctor's office yesterday, Ella decided it was time to introduce herself to the appointment scheduler. She said, "Hi. What is your name?"

The woman answered, "Phyllis. What is your name?"

"My name is Ella, and my mommy's name is Jana. My daddy's name is Scott."

Phyllis said something about how she really knew what everyone's names were really well.

Ella paused for a few seconds and said, "Thank you for meeting us." The entire back office staff as well as Scott and I died laughing. I'm sure the fact that she got a laugh will mean that she is introducing herself to people all the time now.

too funny! It's amazing how encouraging laughter is to these little ones. I'm sure you're right... You'll be hearing those exact phrases come out of her little mouth often now!!

How funny! At least she introduced you correctly ... when Katie introduced us in a clothing store (to a little girl being held by her Daddy), she introduced us as thus ... this is my Mommy, and this is my Daddy, and this is "trouble!"
