How Ella ruined Mother's Day




Okay, so she didn't really ruin it, but it was pretty funny. Matt, Ella and I were at Target, and Matt was looking at sunglasses. Ella had to try on every pair before Matt could, so I tried to distract her by having her look at watches with me. I wanted to get a watch for Shelley for mother's day. So we looked, Matt got his glasses, and we left.
Later that night, we were at dinner and Ella says "Mommy, your video watch is broken?" She calls all watches video watches because that's what Deigo wears. Shelley was of course confused, because her watch had broken a while ago, which is why she needed a new one. So I tried to get Ella to cool it by telling her yes it was broken and then asking her about her food or something. So a couple minutes goes by and then Ella says "Mommy, Daddy needs to get you a new video watch?" completely blowing the surprise. So I gave the watch to Shelley on friday, and she liked it a bunch. But it was hilarious how Ella just randomly brought it up like that. No more secrets for her.
In other new's I've started to work at the school district doing Yard Supervision, watching the kids outside in the morning and at recess. It's really easy, the kids are pretty funny, and it gets us some extra money. We're going to get our visas next week, now that we have all of Ella's shot information.

That is such a funny story! What a cutie! You know, my dad says I did that when I was really little too. Well, I am glad you had a good mother's day Shel, mine was good too. Oren rolled over for the first time on Mother's Day!
