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. :/

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.
