Life With Ella

Today we went to Miguel’s 4th birthday party.  Miguel is in Ella’s class  – there were lots of Leaping Lizards at the party.  The party was at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and it was a gorgeous day out.  We all had a blast.  Ella got totally into the pirate theme and wore a pirate hat and an eye patch.  She also made a jeweled hook.  It’s so much fun to watch Ella become more of a participant in everything that is going on around her.  She just loves life.

This is from yesterday (Saturday).  Sunny, Becca and I went to a rally for equality in marriage.  We were hanging out and listening to people speak and all of a sudden, Sunny said, “Hey, that’s us!” We looked up and there was Phyllis holding up a sign that said, “Why do you care?  This is why I care”…and there was a picture of Sunny, Ella and me and then some pictures of other people who she loves.  It was really sweet.

Ella asked the painter to paint a peacock on her arm.  Another kid from her class overheard Ella asking for a peacock and he said to his mom, “Ella always paints peacocks!”

Arg!

Ella took part in her first sack race.  She got a lot of help from mommy during the race, but right here, she held her own.

After the party, Ella wanted to climb the hill and ring the bell.
