I love and dislike the "saying it like it is" phase with Ellah. I love to hear her complete and honest observations of people or situations which are generally very true but dislike the embarrassment and awkwardness it sometimes causes me. Today we had to run a few errands, one of which was the post office. We proceeded to check in our package, pay and wait for our receipt. The line behind us started to grow. Ellah was standing and hugging my leg as we waited. She turned around and suddenly spotted "Mickey Mouse." I turned around and and saw a tall pretty girl with long dark hair wearing hot pink sun glasses and a little pink mini skirt. Apparently Ellah thought she recognized her. She was smiling at Ellah and I so I smiled back. I could barely make out what Ellah was saying until she progressively said it louder each time, "Mom, hey mom, mommy LOOK, LOOK THERE'S MICKEY MOUSE!!!!!" I had definitely heard her by this point, I don't know who didn't, but I was trying to ignore it and leave the post office as soon as possible! My passionate little Ellah would not leave until I acknowledged her comment and then she was perfectly content with moving on with our day.
I'm pretty sure she meant to say Minnie Mouse anyways...

Isn't this fun? Zach is the KING of doing this to me EVERYWHERE we go. I finally have told him that if he has something to say about someone in the store he needs to wait until we are in the car before telling me...in the past he has asked me if the woman standing next to me were a witch, a man if he were a transformer (because he had a mechanical leg), and if another woman didn't brush her teeth so well because she was missing a couple. If you don't acknowledge it, they just say it louder and louder...SO FUN...someday we'll miss it, so Im told:)
That's cute! One time Ava kept saying "that guy is really fat, mommy. Why is he so fat, mommy?" It is embarrassing!
Ohhhhh kids. I still love the word passionate. I've used it with Bodie a time or two since I heard you say it. It's the perfect word for our passionate kids.
that is so funny, she is such a cute little girl. Sorry I never got back to you about the pictures with my family, little did I know my mom went and scheduled us with a friend of my brothers...I was so bummed because I LOVE the way you take pictures....don't worry I'll find a reason to have you take pics of my little family sometime!
Oh, that is hilarious. What a smart, observant little girl! The worst is when a child comments on another person being fat or of a different color...so embarassing!
Kids say the sillest things!
One time we were walking into the mall and Reed saw some lady smoking. He proceeds to ask me at the top of his lungs..."Mom, doesn't that lady know she is turning her lungs all black and yucky?" She put her cigerette out right after that! Who knows maybe he got her to kick the habit!!
Miss ya!
So Funny! The funniest part is that she was refering to the woman as a 'male' (mickey vs. minny)!!
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Love it!
