Ellie knows what she wants.  She is also extremely persistent in getting what she wants.  In the pictures below, she wanted the fingernail clippers that Nik was using.  Never mind that I gave her an identical pair.  She wanted the ones that Nik had.  Once Nik was done with them and gave them to her, she played happily with them for a pretty long time.

I’m glad she’s persistent.  That will help her later in life!
