I'm getting ready to take Ella to the store for... get ready... for... BIG GIRL PANTIES! Knock wood, she hasn't had a daytime accident in forever. And to think that for a long while, I was worried that this girl would be wearing Depends on her wedding day!

I have a distinct feeling that when Ella finally goes to school, I will be getting regular phone calls from the principal. I suppose coming to this realization now gives me a little bit of time to get used to the idea. :/

Recently, Ella has started using the word "critters" at least a couple dozen times a day. I think she has us confused with the Clampetts.

My latest Ella quote: "I don't want this. It doesn't have enough fiber in it."

Today, Ella has been refusing to speak English. Instead, she's insisting on ONLY speaking in fish. "Bloop, bloop" (That's fish for "It's going to be a very long day.")

I just asked Ella if she wanted to go to the bank and to pick up Cole from soccer practice. "YAY! I'll put on my shoes!" My response? "How about you put on your pants first?" To that, she politely exclaimed, "But Mom, I don't really need pants." That's my girl!

This momma has eaten the same pretend sandwich at least 15 times in the last half hour. And each time, Ella insists that I think of a new way to show my extreme pleasure in "eating" an egg sandwich made of fake felt food. It's cute and all, but does anyone else want a turn at this game? I'll send her your way!
