The double cross.

I've noticed that Elsy has been crossing her middle and index fingers quite often recently. I'm not sure what prompted it, but I have seen her sitting and watching on my iPad with fingers crossed in one or both hands. Maybe it is easier for her to manipulate the device with her fingers crossed that way? Normally when she tries to use her fingers either her middle or index finger gets in the way so crossing them allows her more control. Hopefully this doesn't become a habit..

Powers of two.

Elsy has been counting for a while now. Her counting has not been consistent though. At first she would just go straight to seven. Then she would completely skip five to seven. Recently she has just been counting powers of two: one, two, four, eight. I am pretty sure this is not on purpose, but it was still pretty cool.

What is Elsy short for?

RM asked me that at work. My response was: "Elsy is short for her age."

Scab gone.

So the bruise, abrasion and scab that I got near my elbow from hockey several weeks back has finally healed. Well, for the most part. The area doesn't feel as flexible as it did before, and the skin is still a little discolored, but Elsy is no longer pointing to my elbow and saying "ouch" everytime I changed her last month. She is now pointing and saying "elbow". I would classify that as an improvement.
