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.

Bath time banter

In the bathtub this morning:

Ella:Mom, I drank the bubbles and the water!
Me:Ella no! Remember we never drink bath water (and more explanation about how soap is toxic) do you understand?
Ella: No
Me: Ella...(with a scolding look)
Ella:No
Me: Ella, you don't say no like that to mommy, say "yes ma'am"
Ella: No!! NO!
Me: Ella...
(more back and forth until finally she revealed her reason)
Ella: I DON'T say "yes man" I say "yes girl" MOMMY is a GIRL!!
