When Tyler first started working exclusively from home we had some issues about who would be in charge. It quickly came to our attention that Ella was clearly the boss.
Ella: Who threw this vinyl in the garbage?
Me: I did.
Ella: Why?
Me: It was ruined, I can't sell it like this.
Ella: Mom, you shouldn't do that. If you start to ruin something, tell me, I will show you how to not ruin it.
Another Scenario
Ella: Mom, I need you to draw a pink dinosaur with polk-dots and flowers (thus this shirt I made for her.)
She liked the shirt, but was unhappy that it was a Stegosaurus rather than a T-Rex. So I decided to draw her a pink T-Rex on my computer. When she woke up in the morning and saw it she was delighted with how it turned out. However she did have some changes for me.
Ella: Mom, him is supposed to have a claw on his foot.
I quickly drew a claw, but she still wasn't satisfied.
Ella: Mom, he needs 3 claws! Why did you only draw one?
Then she ran and got a little figurine of a T-Rex, and showed me his 3 claws.
Today she announced that Santa Claus would be bringing her a vinyl machine of her own for Christmas. When I asked her what she planned on doing with her own vinyl machine. She replied, "I'm going to make my own vinyl and sell it, and make my own money."
Clearly she wants to be in charge, and she's pretty good at it, so I guess she can be the boss for the time being.

Sounds like she'll be your biggest competition
She sounds like a doll! I love the things kids say. Your girls ar so cute!
So funny!
We drove past a Sinclair station yesterday with the big dinosaur out front and katie said "Mom- STOP!! We need to get that dinosaur for Ella- she would LOVE it!!"- I told her there was no way the 10 ft thing would fit in our car- she was very dissapointed!
