Ella loves to sing along to music CDs and with us. Here she is singing the song from the Disney movie "Song of the South". Enjoy! (This works best if you choose "Original Size")

PS she does not have a splinter, so there's no need to worry.

Ella is Pregnant

Not possible for a nearly three year-old to be with child, you say? Ella would beg to differ.

Nicki, as some of you know, is pregnant with our second child and Ella is already acting like a big sister. She talks to the baby in mama's tummy, puts toys under Nicki's shirt for it, and feels the belly when the baby kicks. Nicki helpfully puts Ella's hand at the bottom of her stomach showing her where the baby is.

Ella will sometimes act it out herself. She'll lean back and pull her shirt up, and say "The baby is right there" while putting her hand on her tummy. She'll also say, "See? It moved," while making her stomach move in and out, acting like there's a baby there.

One time I was playing catch with her and the ball hit her tummy. She got upset and said, "Look out! There's a baby in there."

So Ella is pregnant, at least as far as we're concerned.
