Today was full of fun and goodness. Started off nice and easy after a wee hour shout out from Ella– calling out for me, rather “Sporticus” (character from the Icelandic kid show called “Lazytown.) Ella said she fell out of her bed, but all was well after staying with her a while.
It was a cool overcast day and thought a movie would be fun, Ella happily agreed and then asked if we could call Brickelle and ask her if she can come with us. Akilah was game and joined in — Ella and I were happy that Akilah and Brickelle were spontaneous! So off we went on the train to meet our friends and to see Toy Story 2 and 3D to boot!–It was such a sweet and clever movie–albeit a little nauseating with the 3D but after a while I got use to it. More importantly, the girls loved it –after the movies we went to Yerba Buena Park and walked home via Whole Foods as Ella said she was “starving” and wanted whole foods chicken and for me to make rice pilaf, broccoli and asparagus–I think Ella is going through a good growth spurt as she has had a big appetite today–makes this mommy very happy!
Tonight while putting Ella to bed–she was extra hyper and silly and happy–I said Ella it is really late and you need to quiet down and go to sleep–she said–“I can’t mommy, I am too excited about the next day!” That was something else as we didn’t even talk about what we planned to do tomorrow–this was just another pure statement from Ella that speaks of her joy of life–Talk about pearls of wisdom from this child and how much we can learn from her!
Love you Mama–Ella made you a present today and can’t wait to give it to you! Have fun and lots of love to everyone! 
Ella getting ready to go the movies, she picked her outfit out, the first time in ages no dress. I promise, I didn’t coerce her!
Ella happy to have her own seat on muni
good friends 3D style
more 3 D chic–assuming the position for the movie
what better way to end a movie day than to share ice cream with your good friend?
3D movie with glasses! That brings back memories. Again it is wonderful to see the blog up and running by you Sunny. thank you. Ella looks beautiful and so grown up. Can’t wait to see you in two weeks. Love you. Merry
Great job again! Hope the blog was easier tonight. I love the 3-D glasses shots. Did they have to give the glasses back or does Ella have them at home? I love you. See you tomorrow. Have a beautiful day today.
