Yet again this fall, we have been blessed with wonderful visits from our family and are looking forward to a fair number in the next few weeks! Uncle David and Aunt Deanne came for the weekend recently and were part of a very important changeover as Ella went from a crib to a Big Girl Bed. In fact, there have been a number of little changes to her room and she has been very excited about the new space. She can often be heard saying "Ella (pronounced "Eye-a") no baby anymore, Ella big kid." Her verbal skills are improving so rapidly as to have her two parents in constant awe. She uses the word "like" quite often - not in the valley-girl sense, thank goodness, but in order to make comparisons like pasta being "curly like Ella's hair" and "catching daddy like a fish!" The other day, as we returned home and I caught sight of the mess we had left, she finished off my "Oh, goodness..." with a "gracious!" of her own! It somehow made that mess seem much more manageable.
