"Diva"

"Mommy, can I do my makeup with you?"
"Yes Ella you can."
"I need to look pretty too cause I am a big girl."
"Yeah, big girls do their makeup and their hair."
"We should go to cookie cutters and get my hair cut cause I like to ride in the little car."
"Mommy will take you there next week."
"Is it next week yet Mommy cause I will look like a diva pretty soon!"

Ok, someone please tell me where the girl learned the word Diva! LOL

So we are trying the potty thing with Ella...no luck yet! Spencer told her if she wore her princess panties she could have a cookie. She happily puts her panties on and gets a cookie. About 10 minutes later she says panties itch and she wants her diaper back on...after a fit we put her diaper back on. She comes out into the kitchen and tells Spencer the following:

"Daddy, we need to talk about binki's"
"Yes we do need to talk about your binki...
"Dad, big girl panties are Terrible!"
WE both started to laugh...I guess that trick won't work....any help with the potty thing...please! We have tried several tricks from suprises to treats...nothing seems to work. HELP!

Driving on the freeway, UDOT is doing construction to widen the road in Davis County. I am driving to Sandy to visit my family with the girls. I get cut off and veered to take I-215 instead of I-15....the comment out of my mouth was:

"oh you have got to be kidding me."
Ella thinks about that for a minute and says,

"Mommy, What are you kidding about?"
Boy was I grateful nothing else slipped out of my mouth!

We are at church on Sunday..Ella hasn't had a nap (1:00 pm for church is rough!) she decides to
pull my hair and kick and throw a fit...I take her out in the hall and set her on a chair and tell her to stay on the chair and not to talk. She sits there quietly for a few minutes then turns to me and says...
"Mommy, we need to talk about hitting and pulling hair and also about you being nice to me." lol
"Ella, we do need to talk about those things because they are not nice things to do to mommy."
"Yeah, but you need to be nice cause I don't like it when you tell me not to talk."

ok...someone please tell me how to keep a straight face when she says comments like that! lol
Ella is 2 going on 16!!

"Dolly"


My sister Amie and her husband bought a cute little puppy a few months ago and she is adorable! Dolly is Ella's favorite when we visit at Nanny's house. She takes her on walks (or is it the other way around?) She gives her treats, runs with her, Dolly licks her and then at the end of the day she says to me"mommy, can we get a doggy just like dolly and name her Rafiki ?" lol

Disney's "UP"



While Ella Jane had a sleepover at Grammy's house, she watched movie trailers with Grammy and Jill...well she was repeating lines from the Disney Pixar movie "UP" and wanted to watch them at home as well. So...We took Ella Jane to see the movie "UP" last friday. Half way thru the movie she looks at me and says, "Mom is it time to go yet?" She enjoyed the movie...but not as much as Spencer and I did. This was a cute show! A must see for sure!
