Ella has become my partner in the Deuce Vending business we started up last year.

She loves to stack the quarters and put them in the coin wrappers. (Even though banks nowadays just bust them out of the wrappers when you take them in – I think Ella would not be happy if she saw this happening after all her hard work.)

She also gets out a little pad of paper and marks down things like she is doing the accounting. The pads are mostly a list of zeroes and ones, but she makes up very complicated meanings to them all.

Its all very cute and makes it a fun activity. The only other part of the business she likes better then “counting quarters” is to eat all the surplus inventory!
