Writing and...Elephants?

So far so good with the new determination! I wrote over 5,000 words between yesterday morning and this evening. I'm satisfied with that. I hope I can keep it up.

Perhaps more importantly, or more amusing, at least, are the elephants. Yes, the elephants.

Yesterday my twenty-one-month-old daughter announced in the car whilst running errands that there were elephants in the strawberry field. Not in so many words, but it was quite clear with the pointing and the repetition of "it's an elephant, it's an elephant, it's an elephant" that there were elephants somewhere out there. I apparently missed them, ahem, but I was heartily amused.

And then, this evening, she looked out the front window and announced "it's an elephant" yet again, but here's the best part - she looked at me with glee and cackled, yes, cackled.

I'm SO proud.

I'm seeing good times and great story fuel in my future here. Especially when baby #2 (on the way) can contribute to the madness.
