Life With Ella

After a fun and wild Friday night, we woke up on Saturday morning, hung around the house for a little while and then went to CDS for a people of color picnic sponsored by the Committee on Inclusion and Diversity.  When Ella arrived, the first person that she saw was Brickelle and they ran into each others arms.  Ella had a great time and told us that she really liked meeting new kids and making new friends.  The preschoolers rarely mix with the elementary school – they do most of their mixing with the middle school.  Ella did a lot of climbing and running and playing and it was terrific.

Ella really loves the play structure at school.

Just as we were leaving, my phone rang and when I saw that it was my mom, I let Ella pick up the phone.  They had a great conversation and Ella just looked like a big kid talking to her.

At least we know that she can walk and talk.

Kate came over on Saturday evening to watch the Yankee game and we were all treated to a ballet recital by Ella.

After the ballet recital and up to the 11th inning of the Yankee game, we retired to the upstairs to play Beatles Rock Band.  Ella loved singing.  She can now sing “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds”, “Here Comes the Sun” and “Yellow Submarine”.  Sunny did vocals with Ella and sometimes Kate, I played the drums and I also played guitar and bass.  It was a lot of fun.

This morning, we were pleasantly awakened by Ron and Juliet.  Ella was actually the only one who was sleeping.  They were bringing over a crib for Milo when he comes on Thursday.  We are so excited for the whole family to come out here.  Juliet’s voice woke up Ella and Ella was so happy to see Juliet.  They had some breakfast together and then the 3 of us headed over to a birthday party for one of Ella’s old classmates.  The party was at Pump It Up.  A big place with huge bouncy houses.  It was a lot of fun.

Ella took this shot of me and said, “It’s a keeper”.

Blue tongue…blue poop?
