American Widgeon

Fun shot of this middle size duck. He was shaking off after a bath. 

I had a relaxing massage today and then bought Ellie new leggings and pink jeans; she is growing taller every month! She is definitely the tallest person in her preschool class. Interesting fact: Ellie had a new student in her class; he is a little person. I let Ellie watch an episode of Little People, Big World which follows a family of little people who live on a farm very near us. I wanted her to understand that he was the same age as her, he was just the same as other kids, except he was born is short legs and arms. She had thought he was 2 or 3 years old, but I think she understands and will treat him as an equal peer in class. He has seemed happy each day after school this week.
