Lock down

Ella just locked herself in her room. I can hear it now, "Not Ella, she wouldn't do such a thing." I had to talk her through unlocking it from the other side. She is at the stage where if you ask her a question she will nod her head rather than answering. This form of communication does not work if you are on the other side of the door or telephone. So, I would say, "do you see the little piece that sticks off the door knob?" Silence. "Ella, say yes". "Yes". "Turn it". We did this several times. Eventually she was free and decided she was hungry. I ignored this request and put she and Streed to bed in my room. Why? I am tired and trying to get a few minutes on the internet. It is 8:55pm and they are now in the den. Nate occassionally makes noises. Hence the hiatus from the blogging world. It is too frustrating to post or read other blogs. So, maybe sometime this month I will post pics from their party.
