Special Time with Ellie

I need to make more time to talk with Ellie and do things she likes. When Ellie and I get time alone, I see how cute she is and how innocent she is. Sometimes I forget that she's only four. Sometimes I expect her to be as grown up and logical as me. I know this is unfair. She deserves better.

Tonight she accompanied me to the dry cleaning, with the promise of Yo Bubble. I enjoyed sitting beside her and enjoying our treat together. I liked seeing how excited she was to hold my little Nemo credit card. I like talking about our favorite treats and just being with her. She's so sweet! I'm so lucky to be her mom!

Ellie is growing into such a grown lady. When I was making dinner I turned around to see her reading by the window on the bench seat. (And Max was playing nearby.) It was perfect.
