Driving home today I asked Ella if I was to make a right turn, left turn or go straight at every intersection. The little smarty pants answered correctly every time but once!

I have a Dora The Explorer junkie.. Ella now looks at her brother and says “Cooper no swiping!”
At lunch today Ella broke out in song… Gray squirrel, gray squirrel swoosh your bushy tail…. Apparently she learned the song and a little dance at pre-school last week (when squirrel was the theme of the day) and she probably did it again in school today! We were swooshing our bushy tails all evening!
Been working with Ella and teaching her how to do a somersault. Just taught Cooper.. Touch your toes, tuck your head and roll!!! Ella goes over to Cooper and says: “YEA COOP… I proud of you!” nearly cried.
All of you familiar with Dora The Explorer will understand this. Ella is so cute, there is a part of the show that you have to say”backpack” after Dora asks you to… Ella says it in advance and then when Dora asks, Ella says ” I already said backpack!”
On the Eve of the first day of my sweet little girl’s first day of school I reflect on all the memories of her short two years of life. Time flies faster than ever when you are a parent and while I am so excited for her to start this new chapter of her life I can’t help but be a bit sad as life as we knew it isn’t anymore. The days of having her each and every day to myself to play, go places etc. is no more! So many firsts and this will be one to add to the on-going list. First breath, first touch, first smile, first cry, first laugh, first.. first… first… I love you sweet Ella and you will always be my Sunshine and my sweet baby girl!
