Jam Band
Eleanor loves the ukulele. “Heetahr? Oookooulaylie?” she asks. Meaning, “hey lady, go grab the ukulele off the highest shelf in your office, and drag that acoustic guitar out of the closet. It’s time for a jam session.”
August gets in on the action sometimes too.
They’re good.

Eleanor’s Bizarro World Room
The Land of Nod was so into the bedroom I designed for Eleanor (which they helped furnish) that they recreated the look for their new catalog. It’s on page 61.
Our copy arrived today, and I showed it to Eleanor. “Does this look like your room?” I asked her. She looked at it, then started pointing at toys and asking to play with them upstairs. The girl really wants her mercury glass mushrooms and toy calliope, please.
Here’s Eleanor’s room, for reference.
Quite the resemblance, right? (Although, now that I think about it… they’re based in Chicago. I’m in Chicago. Dudes, why didn’t you just shoot here?)
Anyway, thanks team Nod! It was neat to see the Bizarro World version in the catalog.

Eleanor, the Photographer
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. Send holiday joy with a custom card from Shutterfly.The winner of my Shutterfly giveaway has been randomly selected, and I’ll edit this post to announce the winner as soon as I have confirmation. Thanks for entering, everyone!
Now, since I showed you Eleanor in full cranky toddler mode, I thought it was only fair to show you this little outtake from the same photo session. She was much more into being the photographer than the subject that day.
That look of concentration! I love it.
p.s. Here were the Official Rules for the giveaway.

Star Wars Guys in Bathtub
Eleanor has created an art installation. She has titled it: Star Wars Guys in Bathtub. They’re taking a bubble bath, just so you know. I’m so proud of my little conceptual artist!OK, for real though… The dollhouse? It’s slow-going. E is enjoying playing with all of the furniture, and I’m enjoying the idea of the dollhouse, but construction has yet to begin. The dollhouse kit (sanded and primed, thanks to my mother-in-law) is currently living on my dining room table.
Have you all been following along with the “I’m a Giant!” Challenge? Some of the people playing along on twitter are rocking it, but I’ve noticed a lack of activity from everyone else lately. Perhaps I’m not the only one preparing to make a mad dash toward the finish line.
