Dear Santa- All Eleanor wants for Christmas are spices, containers and containers of them, so she can throw them around the kitchen over and over again. #spicespicebaby
Returning to winter weekend routine, making orange juice
Ella chugs her first glass of orange juice* (one part juice, four parts water)

Eleanor apparently got her hands on some crayon contraband, didn’t notice this until apparently after the graffiti incident

Most of the time, Eleanor just wakes up and cries. Tonight, she just woke up and quietly held on to her sleep noise lamb.
