Ella woke up at around 5:30 this morning complaining that she was congested. She was a little warm and she had about 100º fever. We gave her some tylenol and we all went back to sleep. We took it really easy today – Ella hung out in bed and watched a lot of Spongebob which made her really happy. I bought the Biggest Loser Wii workout game yesterday so Sunny and I did our work outs at home today. It’s actually a really good work out! Ella made a card for Brickelle and was feeling much better. We asked her if she felt well enough to go to the testing TaeKwonDo and she said that she really wanted to go. Ella did a great job in class. All of the kids advanced to the next level. She was really happy to get her yellow belt with a white stripe. The video at the end of this shows her instructor giving her the belt – he says that she paid attention better than some 9, 10, and 11 year olds. She’s really into it and is so cute when she does her thing! After class, we went over to Phyllis and Michaels to celebrate a late Chanukah with Michael’s grand daughter Zani. She was supposed to come to our house on Monday night but communication was messed up and she never made it over. We are officially calling the 11th night of Chanukah “Zanikah”. Zani is 8 and she is really sweet with Ella. Ella thinks she is the bomb. It was a really fun night. Ella was a trooper. Tomorrow is Brickelle’s birthday party. Ella is so excited.

THe belt! It’s very stiff right now – I have to wash it a few times to get it to stay down.
