After church:
Me: "Did you play with Ellie today?"
Ella : "Yeah. I asked her what has been going on."
Me: "Oh, really? What did she say?"
Ella: "Hi."
Various feelings... remember, this is from ONE day and she repeated sad and frustrated several times ... laying on the guilt, I might add:
Ella: "Mommy, I am sad because you were not pushing the stroller."
Me: "Well, Daddy wanted to push it this time, but maybe I'll do it next time."
Ella: "You made me sad, Mommy."
Ella: "I am frustrated and Benjamin is angry."
Me: "Why is that?"
Ella: "It's because of the stove" (she has a new phobia of our stove ... long story)
Scott: (while Ella is watching Veggie Tales) "It's about time to go to bed."
Ella: "But Daddy, it's about to your favorite part! (gasps and covers her mouth) I'm excited!"
Ella: (I cannot remember why): "Mommy, you made me cry!" (Scott made her cry, too)
Story time:
Ella's Sunday school class is starting out the year by learning the days of creation. She had a really cute project today that covered days 5-7. At dinner, she decided to tell us the story.
"Day 5 God Created the fish. Next, ummm.... hmmm... He swimmed and He swimmed and He swimmed! Then on 7, he did rest." Scott and I were in stitches... I was crying, I was laughing so hard. She looks at Scott very seriously and says, "Oh, Daddy, what are we going to do with Mommy?"
Other random quotes:
"I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"Mommy, is Benjamin going to wear blue today, too? That's fantastic!"
"I'm looking out my window and it's dark. Why?"
Scott: (getting worn out by this point): "Because that's what happens."
Ella: "But why does that happen?"
Ella: "I did not say hi to the brown man at the gas station and I made him sad."
Me: "Did Daddy say hi to him?"
Ella: "Yes"
Me: "Then he must have been a nice man. Why didn't you say hi?"
Ella: "I can not tell"
