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.

My girly-girl

I just put Ella to bed and she initiated an entire conversation where she was about 3 inches from my face most of the time and gently patting different parts of my face and making requests. She started with my ears and wanted to know why I wasn't wearing pink earrings. She said I should wear pink earrings for her every day (like I did on her birthday). Then she patted my nose ring and said "this should be pink too, can you do that for me?" I told her I didn't have a pink nose ring but I'd try to wear the pink earrings. Then she started patting my lips and said "I think you need pink sparkly lipstick mom!" She moved on the nail polish (also pink and sparkly) before starting again with earrings. We literally talked about this for 10 minutes. She went on and on about how beautiful everything would be in pink. When I asked her if she wanted to get her ears and nose pierced and wear sparkly pink things she sighed and said "I will, I'm just waiting to grow up."

    Must be genetic. This brings back great memories of the Pink and Purple phase that you and Marissa went through. Marissa wore the same pink and purple dress everyday for almost 2 months. The dress was washed every night.

    This week I was telling her a story and said that the little boy cried. She stopped me.."Abuela, BOYS DO NOT CRY!!!".

    Go Ella! Your cultural observations are very keen. I will make sure your birthday gift is pink.

    That is just hilarious. I don't know why girls like pink so much! Holly loves pink too. If everything in the whole house could be pink, she would be in heaven.

    Maybe Ella will be a fashion designer some day. I love that she had plenty of suggestions for you! Get with the program, Corinne!!

    She's AWESOME. I love the pink phase. I thought I'd hate it, but it's so unbelievably cute that I can't helpp loving it. :)

    The last line made me get all teary eyed.
