Harry's On The Move and Ellie's on the Outs...

With Jacque-Jacque that is, but more on that later. Harry has managed to combo army crawl/actual crawl several feet this morning. He can get into moving position from a sit or from his back and he's getting seriously angry when the arms and legs do not cooperate with each other. They're trying to get their act together and I anticipate full on, world record speed crawling by this time next week. Lock up your valuables!

In other, elf related, news, the elf seems to fancy himself a comedian, but Ellie is not impressed. Last night, instead of leaving candy in the advent calendar (hey, sometimes the elf has a few too many glasses of wine while wearing her, I mean, his tacky Christmas sweatshirt) Jacque-Jacque left several business cards. No 3 Musketeers, but if Ellie needs assistance from the controller of Sun Link or the legal services of one Darrell L. Sutton, Esq. she's covered. Needless to say, the elf had better straighten up and pay up tomorrow!

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Jacque-Jacque's legitimacy can no longer be doubted. Spurred, no doubt, by the incessant inquiries into his origin and occupation, Jacque-Jacque had gotten his mitts on an actual (not fake) i.d.


Many thanks to the forger, er, I mean, Elf Licensing Officer, known as Grandpa.

All Elf. All the Time.

I can see a theme to this month's postings. Day 3 of Jacque-Jacque's (she named him, so don't look at me) stay and, well, let's just say it's a love/hate relationship. Above all else, though, there is a trust issue. Ellie is not sure that the Elf is entirely on her side, and she has some questions about his background and the extent of his abilities.

1. How do we know Santa sent him and he's not from somewhere else?
2. What if Santa gives him my present for the advent calendar and he keeps it for himself?
3. Do elves like chocolate? (That relates directly to #2 as all advent gifts involve chocolate.)
4. What if I do something bad while he's with Santa? Will he know?
5. Can he get into my school?
6. Does he have to let the teacher know he's there?
7. Does he know where my classroom is?
8. Does he know why I sit in the thinking chair, or does he think I'm sitting just because?
9. Do Elves like carrots, because he can have mine? (I wonder if they like broccoli.)
10.How do we know he's the same elf that was here last year? Maybe they're confused.

This is THREE days in people!!!! I need the name of a guy that create a fake indentity for Jacque-Jacque. I'm not sure I can keep up.
