We start at Jefferson.

Ella continues to love stairs.

So independent (when there is no one around).

Precious.

The fountains at FDR.

She spent a lot of time with Fala.

Els loves pictures. Conveniently,pictures love Ella.

I think she likes the short section of the wall.

So innocent. She has no idea what it means.
In a way, I sort of wish I didn't know what it means, either.
I wish none of us knew.
The things that children teach us...

A lighter note: Smithsonian Castle with her new Rudolph doll.

A little late-night statue climbing.
It is never too late for that.
