Magical Nose

A few weeks ago Steve was playing with Ellie and stole her nose (you know the game where you pretend your thumb is the nose of the other person). Ellie didn't think it was funny and almost started crying until Steve returned her nose. Then Ellie discovered she could steal Daddy's nose and then the game became hysterical. Well last night the game got more creative. Steve got Ellie out of the bath tub and was putting her diaper on when she reached up and stole his nose. She then pretended to shove it into her mouth and start chewing. Of course Steve was loving it and acted like he had lost his nose and began pumping her chest so he could get his nose back. Ellie then reached into her mouth and pulled out "a piece of Daddy's nose". It took several pieces from her mouth to complete Steve's nose. After Steve's nose was put back together Ellie then started pointing into the air saying "my nose, it's gone". I guess it somehow floated off of her face. Steve began grabbing at the air to retrieve her nose but it had just moved according to Ellie. Finally Steve snagged it before it reached the ceiling and returned it to its proper place. What an imagination!
