The funny things Ella says.

The great thing about toddlers is that they are always surprising you with the things they say. You may think that they don't know a word and they use it perfectly in a sentence or say something that takes you completely off guard. Here are two of my favorite examples lately.

One day Ella and I were driving to the store and were stopped at a light. Out of no where she says " Mommy, I want lips on my lips." I had to think about what she was saying. Is she asking for a kiss ? She knows the word kiss. Why doesnt she just ask for a kiss? But it doesn't matter. When your little girl asks you for a kiss it doesn't matter how she phrases it. Your heart just melts. So now instead of asking for kisses the whole family asks for "lips on my lips".

Monday morning, right after waking up Ella and I were still in our PJs. We were talking about what we were going to eat for breakfast. While I was getting food ready in the kitchen Ella says "Mommy, when the baby comes out it has to be a girl" I was shocked. We weren't even talking about the baby. Then tonight as Ben and I were putting her to bed she said it again. This time she replaced " has to " with "NEEDs to be". I guess she really wants a little sister. I hope not to disappoint her but I guess we just have to wait and see at our next Ultrasound. She is infatuated with any baby she sees so I'm sure she will love her sibling no matter the gender.
