I'm not one who believes in banning/burning books. However, I believe I've come up with an exception. Ella came home from school with Barbie: A Fairy Secret. It involves ridiculous jealousy, tricking someone into marrying the wrong person, and takes place in the fairy world of GLOSS ANGELES. I swear, I could barely get through the book without throwing up. It reminded me of a Jerry Springer version of Barbie. All that was missing was a paternity test.

What I just heard Ella say to the big kids: "You people are breaking (pause) my (pause) HEART."

Ella runs like Phoebe Buffay from Friends. I fully expect her to break out into a rousing rendition of Smelly Cat any minute.

I'm currently having some problems with my work email. Ella asked me what was the matter. I explained (in 4 yr. old terms.) In response, with her hand on her hip, "Mom, when I have problems with my email, I just don't email any more. I mean... it's ridiculous. Crazy email acting up and stuff. Geesh." And then she walked away. *snort*

As I put Ella's sneakers on for preschool: "Momma, I can NOT wear my fast shoes to preschool. I just can't control the running power!" I guess we're now in the market for S-L-O-W sneakers.

So help me, I will never EVER tire of hearing a 4 year old sing Christmas carols often, enthusiastically, and usually off key. *soaking in every single minute of it*


I lurve you, Ella Bella Cinderella.

Ella: "Mommy, is pee pee like a germy waterfall?"
Me: "Well, umm... Urine is actually sterile, but... well..."
Ella: "I don't get it."
Me: "Yeah. Me neither. So, yes. Pee pee is like a germy waterfall."
