The Fridge

While we were in Philly visiting my family, Ella became interested in exploring the refrigerator. Like most babies, she wants to play anywhere she can get in something, under something, behind something, etc. She loved to see what she could get hold of in the fridge, and that interest has continued here at our place.
For obvious reasons, we can't have her halfway inside there for hours at a time. So Melody went out and got a set of refrigerator magnets.
I have to say this was a very wise investment. As Ella loves to take things out of their containers and put them back, so she also loves to knock these magnets off (semi-violently) and then put them back on. It's a perfectly good distraction for her while we're trying to make breakfast or dinner.See?


And since we always like to show Ella in action...

You may have noticed that Ella keeps saying something that sounds like "Tao." No, she isn't studying some ancient martial arts or anything. Melody informs me she is actually saying "Ta-o", which in Bisaya (her family's dialect) means person. Ella often hears "Ta-o" at her Lolo and Lola's house when someone comes to the door. It infers something like, hey someone is here, go get the door.. At least that's as much as I can gather. I am still learning the language myself after 5+ years.
