Ella and Mommy
Well, this morning Ella woke me up at 6:30 AM. This is a little earlier than usual so I got up and put her in bed with me for hopefully one more hour of sleep. 7:30 AM, I get a smack on my head and we are up and off to get breakfast in the kitchen. Now, Ella is not a very good eater but she never misses breakfast. We made mini waffles and she ate about half of every waffle. Today we had some errands to run so we got ready around 11 and went to the bank, the mall and Wal-mart. She was a pretty good girl at the mall. I bought her two new pairs of shoes because her feet are growing so fast. She made sure to say "thank you" after we bought something. It was pretty cute. We then went to look at the kitties and puppies at Love at First Site and she squealed the whole time. She just loves animals! By the time we made it to Wal-mart she was getting pretty hungry and kinda cranky and she had taken her shoes off in the car so I didn't bother putting them back on her, so I'm sure we fit in really well. After throwing a huge fit when I was trying to order some luch meat we quickly went to find string cheese so I could give her one to tie her over until we got home. This worked for about 3 whole minutes and then she was inconsolable. She dropped half of her eaten string cheese and she couldn't stop crying to chew the part that was in her mouth. I had to hide the dropped part and open a new one so she could see that she still had a string cheese and there was nothing to cry about. When she caught on to that everything was fine once again. I had about half of my groceries by then so I thought I better make this quick while she is content. From that point on every person, no matter where they were in the aisle, Ella would say hi to, even if we were the only ones in the aisle and they were just passing by. I sorta wish she was a bit more shy. When we were checking out she helped me put the groceries on the conveyer belt and then we came home and had lunch. Ella took a nap and I cleaned up lunch and filled her pool up so by the time she woke up the water wouldn't be freezing. Around 4 I woke her up and we got our swimsuits on and headed outside for some sun. Ella let me paint her toe nails and she played in her pool while I blew bubbles and painted my toe nails to match hers. While putting the pool up I accidently tore it so it looks like we will be getting a new one maybe like Addison's since she loved it so much! Around 5 we came inside and took off her wet suit and she had a tan line even with SPF 50 on! I then tried to get her to go on the potty. She has gone pee twice now but today we had no luck. We'll keep trying though. That was our day. They are usually always this exciting! Hahah. We'll keep you posted though on any funny/gross things that happen. There is usually something!
