And I Thought the Ignoring Didn't Start Until the Teenage Years

This morning I was trying to get Ellie's attention. I kept repeating her name, but she was very focused on whatever it was she was looking at and had no interest in looking at me or listening to what I had to say. So I got right in front of her, two inches from her face and said, "Ellie, look at me." She put her little hand on my cheek, pushed it to the side and said, "Watch out!"
