Ella-isms

Our little girl is growing up so fast. All of a sudden she looks more like a little girl and less like a baby. She says the funniest things. I wish I could remember all of them but there isn't enough time in the day. Here are a few of the recent ones...

While we are sitting at lunch on Saturday, Brady and Ella have this conversation.

Brady: "Ella, may the force be with you."

Ella: "May the force NOT be with me."

Today, when I am prepping Ella for the fact that she will be having a nap so we can go to the store when she wakes up.

Me: "We will take naps, then go to the post office and the grocery store."

Ella: "Ok, we will go to the post office, then Albertsons, and then Roberts!"

Me: "What is Roberts?"

Ella: "Come on, you know what store Roberts is!"

Who knows what Roberts is, but apparently I should.

Yesterday, I said something to Ella that she didn't know what it was. She proceeded to tell me, "I don't know what that means" over and over as I explained. That's what I do to her when I don't understand what she's saying. =)

"Carter, I will call you Boo-Boo." Apparently she has given him a nickname and it is one in the same with Elizabeth's.

Last night we ran to Taco Bell for dinner since we were out of food, and as we pull up Brady realizes that the sign says they temporarily only take cash. As you know, we never have cash so we had to move on. Ella really wanted a cheese roll up so she said asked why we were leaving.

Ella: "I want a cheese roll up!"

Me: "They only take cash and we don't have any. We have to go somewhere they will take our card."

Ella: "But I have cash!"

Me: "Ella they don't take imaginary money so we can't pay for it. What do you want from Wendy's?"

Ella: "A cheese roll up...and I HAVE cash!!"

Bless her heart she really wanted to pay for dinner so she could have her cheese roll up. =)

After getting after her for days about being quiet while Carter is sleeping she tells me this.

"Stop hammering Mom, Carter is sleeping!" Oops.

A couple of evenings ago we are sitting playing and Ella says,"look Mom, I have Jeff and Martina on my back and I am flying like Dumbo!" Do you think she misses Disneyland? =)

Yesterday I am sitting on the floor playing with Carter and Ella jumps on my shoulders.

Ella: "I'm a magnet man!"

Me: "What's a magnet man?"

Ella: "You know cause I'm stuck to you. I'm a magnet man!"

And the most frequent.

"Come on, lets go upstairs to take a nap" (or anything upstairs she doesn't feel like doing).

"But I can't, my legs are broken!" =)

She sure keeps us laughing. It is a good thing because these two's definitely are terrible at times. =)
