Ella update


She finally got me- I am typically pretty good at keeping up with her but today I was helping my friend Pam and Ella managed to pull every wipe out of the box. As soon as I said her name she looked up and wiggled away, knowing she was in trouble- but then again, she is so darn cute, trouble is all relative.

Also, Ella burned her hand pretty good. Thanks to Shannon who had a much worse experience with her son, she was helpful to calm me down. I was making cookies, Ella was fussing, I held her, I scooped the hot cookies off the tray to the cooling rack, she lunged down and grabbed the cookie sheet -

Right now it is just a red long burn mark all along her palm, red and blistered. But the initial screaming, and me not thinking till forever to give her tylenol... wow... it was a long hour and a half. I called Darren and told him I needed him home now. Thankfully it was just after 6 so it was time for him to come home anyway.

Screaming children really do unnerve me!

She is so cute I'm sure it is hard to get very upset with her!!! I hope her hand gets better soon. I hate it when stuff like that happens.

She has such a fun personality! I can't wait to watch her grow. I will try to not take so long to visit. Thanks for having us for so long!

I always find it funny when I get home and Paul's been watching Franny and her wipe box is full of separate wipes. Interesting.
