Recently, Ella has started asking a lot of questions about where I go each day. She talks about how I “work” while she’s at school. She knows the name of the company I work for and where it’s located. She knows it’s called an office. Anytime we are driving she’ll point to random buildings and ask, “Is that your office?”
On Saturday, I had to work a few hours despite the fact that there was a VERY large music festival on all sides of my office building. Since I wasn’t planning on being there all day, I knew it was a good opportunity to show Ella where I worked. We packed a picnic lunch, colors and coloring books and off we went.
She was fascinated by the size of the buildings. I’m only on the seventh floor, but that must seem pretty high to a little girl. She was nervous about sitting up in the window sill, but pointed out many “castles” that she could see {they included a large iron statue and two beautiful churches within a few blocks of my office}.
She wanted to know where all of “my people” were and what my “teacher’s” name was. She helped me work, talked on my speaker phone and played on the computer in my office. It was a fun day and she was duly impressed.

Typing.
Eating a picnic lunch.
Attempting to take a nap under my desk.
Giving up and playing a game instead.
