Ella is feeling better every day. She’s not 100%, but she’s much better than she was earlier in the week. I kept her out of My Gym today because I would be pretty pissed off at a parent if they brought their kid to the class in Ella’s condition. Instead, Ella and I took a nice long walk to the Ferry Building. She loves that spider sculpture and spent almost 1/2 hour dancing, playing and walking around it. Tonight, Sunny, Ella and I had dinner at Acme. At the end of the meal, they brought us 2 little heart cookies. One was chocolate, one vanilla. Ella was playing around with some paper and crayons – she was actually hiding the crayons under the paper. She took a bite of the chocolate cookie and didn’t really seem interested. She then hid it under her paper. Mommy decided to have the cookie and took it without letting Ella know. A few minutes later, Ella picked up the paper and said, “Where did the cookie go?” Sunny looked at her and said, “I ate it.” Ella gave Sunny a look that we never saw before. It was like, “I can’t believe you did that!” Pretty cute – Sunny got Ella 2 more cookies, and Ella handed her the vanilla cookie and said, “Mommy eat it all up.” It was super sweet.

One happy child
Here is a video of Ella at the spider today. It’s a little long, but she was just having so much fun. The end of the video is Ella singing “Side By Side” which she spontaneously burst into.
So happy Ella is feeling better. I love the segue from Itsy Bitsy Spider to Side by Side. And I love the choreography. Love you. Mom
