Ethan made some election ballots with Amelia last night. He chose the categories and she selected the candidates, and then picked her favorite.

The winners: Old Maid, Mama, Purple, Elmo, Sheep, Grilled Cheese and Carmine.

Ethan here. The scribbles on the last one are when Amelia turned the game on me. She asked me my favorite animal. I told her, “dinosaur” and she wrote a D, looked up in Perfect Objective Note Taker mode and asked me me, “What else?” It was incredibly cute. If I threw her for a loop (“Platypus”) she would ask me how the word starts (“What starts with ‘platypus’?”). I’d tell her, then she’d write a “P”. You may be able to find a G for giraffe. She threw in some extra A’s because she’s been writing her name a lot lately.

So that last ballot is all of her note-taking for the 7-8 animals I named as contenders. the whole thing was a perfect mimicry of the game we had played, but with reversed roles.
