Abby: Sissy, sissy....SPACE! Please. I need some space, Ella.


walked into the room and found this fun surprise. Ella is standing AND cruising.

Abby is such a helpful big sister...always offering to take care of Ella.

Abby: Mommy, do you know Jesus?
Me: I do. Do you?
Abby: I do. He likes to wear a white shirt.

Ella falls asleep like this often. Sometimes she will be crying and angrily protest because she doesn't want to go to sleep, then she puts her pacifier in and passes out just like this. It is hysterical to walk in and find her bent in half and sleeping in sitting position.

I think Sid the Science Kid is a great show. Abby has learned so much from it. In the last two weeks, my three year old has informed me that:
1. Because of inertia she needs to wear a seatbelt
2. The butter is melting because I'm "applying heat" to it.
3. Ella did not just have teeth coming in (as I put it), but Ella's incisors were growing in.
4. If something is too heavy for me to pick up, I should just make a pulley.

I had to look up inertia to remember its real definition to see if Abby was applying it correctly. High school physics wasn't my strongest subject. ;) Thank you Sid for teaching preschoolers and re-teaching their parents.

"Look at me, Momma!"
