Bucket Head

Okay, if the flower outfit and the NASA suit haven't convinced you that Ella likes dressing up, maybe these photos of her with a 4-gallon bucket on her head will do it.

Please note, Ella is a functional bucket head. She doesn't just roam around bumping into things.













Oh no. She'll play with dolls and even color with the bucket on her head.












Here she is coloring with the bucket.











The only problem with being a bucket head is that it's a bit challenging to maneuver around, as this video shows.


After a while, she took the bucket off and I hid it thinking, "out of sight, out of mind." Oh no. Ella said, "where's my bucket hat?" and then went off in search of it. She couldn't find it so she said, "right back," and came back . . .

with this little green basket on her head.














Here's Ella, in the green basket, setting up her Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse action figures on Daddy's stomach.
