At 18 Months, Eleanor Begins Daycare, Swims in the Pool, and is Daring in Pink

"Moh joos pls, cracker"

Last week Eleanor began to attend MWF daycare at SUNY Potsdam. She's going to spend 6 hours for 3 days a week with two wonderful teachers, and 7 other toddlers (whom she refers to as babies). Already Eleanor loves playing with all the new toys in her Toddler 1 room. She's giving them a definite challenge during nap time, but we're hoping that she gets more comfortable with her little cot as time goes on.

Just like Daddy, Eleanor wears her backpack to her first day of 'school.'


Eleanor at snack with her friend. She says please and welcome, but not thank you.


Pool time! "Weeeeee, gain, gain, Daddy."


"Up, up, up." Eleanor is wearing her cousin Alex's swimsuit!


Eleanor wore pink to church on Sunday. She LOVES her flower hat from the Conners, and didn't even try to take it off once during the entire service.


Mommy likes pink a little bit too.


'Okay enough, mom.'

Like Father, Like Daughter


Eleanor and her daddy have a lot in common.

They're both terrible flirts.


They understand the importance of hiked-up argyle socks.


Neither of them can cook, except for pretend cooking (they're really good at that).


They LOVE to read (especially together).


They sweat when they sleep.


They love technology (Hello Helen!).


They have big feet. . . Wait a minute!


They both like to strut around in backpacks, looking important.


They're always sad to separate from one another. "Daddy, work." Says Eleanor.

There's a Bear in the Back Seat!

Fleeting Summer, Fleeting Youth


Can anyone tell me, where did my little baby go?


Big girl, big cheesy smile




What does the green light mean? "Gogogogogo!"


"Vrrrmmmmm"



"Up, up, up!"

Running after 'the boy,' from down the street. Eleanor is obsessed with him, and chants 'boy, boy, boy' as she watches him bounce balls and ride by on his bike.


"Apples, apples, apples."

Eleanor Runs on Dunkin'


No comment needed.


Donut nirvana



I would like to add that Daddy brought home the donuts. Not mommy.
