Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Yes M'am

A little while ago as we were driving home...

Ella: Mom look at the beautiful flowers!
Me: They are beautiful.
Ella: They're Pink and Yellow and Red
Me: They are!
Ella: Mom, look at the road, it's wet
Me: It is.
Ella: Mom, look at the trees, they're in my way.
Me: You're right Ella.
(this went on for a while)
Ella: Mom, look at the birdies
Me: Yeah, cool!
Ella (in a sharp scolding tone): Mom, don't say "yeah, cool." You say yes. ok?
Me: (laughing hysterically)
Ella (muttering to herself): we don't say "yeah cool"

I've never corrected her use of "yeah" or "cool" so I have no idea where she got this...cracked me up
