Lately, Ella has been absolutely REFUSING to nap. By the time 4 pm rolls around, she is Fouly McFoulerson. So, we're pulling out all the stops. Today, we're going to go buy napping fairies at the store (teeny tiny Tinkerbell figurines.) You know... because napping fairies help you fall asleep and give you the best fairy dreams EVER. Right?! (Let's just all play along, shall we? *wink, wink*)

Ella's latest ephiphany: "Momma, I wish I had prickles on my butt. You know... so I could make smores." I figured she was confused. Nope. She really does want prickles on her butt so she can put marshmallows on them, roasting her butt over a toasty fire. You know... for smores. How silly of me to misunderstand.

Ella (the human) and Charlie (the dog) are busy barking at each other. Yippy dog + barking toddler = AWESOME. (And for the record, I can barely tell which bark belongs to which.)

A direct Ella quote from just 5 minutes ago: "I'm pretty sure I can breathe underwater. Because I am a MERMAID. I don't need my bed anymore. I can just live in the bathtub!"

We painted Ella's room yesterday. This morning, the first thing she said to me (with a HUGE smile on her face), "Momma, I LOOOOOVE my new green room. Tank you!" You're welcome, baby girl. You're welcome. :)

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. :/
