My wild child with the beautiful smile!

My baby is SIX

How did this happen? I read over the post I made last year at her 5th birthday and here I am trying to make sense of the fact that an entire year has yet again flown by.

My little girl is so big! She is doing so well in school and is the smartest kid in class! I know because I help out every Wednesday and my observation of her being the brightest kid is obviously completely unbiased.

She is a big sister now and such a good one. No wonder Mara loves her and squeals and smiles everytime big sis Ellie walks into the room. She is an awesome kid!

How bizarre is it I can be on an instant messenger with my 5 year old?

heather: hi ellie

              ellie:  im playen nickjr.com

heather: cool

               ellie:  yep yep yep   i love   you   too    mom

Talk to the tummy

Whenever you “talk” to Mara you push your mouth right up against my tummy and yell things at her. It’s too funny. It comes out all mummbled but you insist that is the only way she can hear you.

I can’t wait to see you as a big sister!

Let’s go!

Ellie told us she LOVES going to the bowling isles.

Not bowling lanes mind you… bowling isles.

Thanksgiving

 Myjoha: mom we learned who was at the first Thanksgiving.

Me: Ok… who all was there?

 Myjoha: All of the native Americans and the…. the…

Me: (trying to help her find the word..) The P-p—pii

 Myjoha: OH YA! All the native Americans and all the pelicans.

Ellie says

That when you die if you’re a girl you become and angel. And if you’re a boy you become a ghost.
