Scuba Ella!

Ella's Graduation was quite entertaining. Her teacher had the kiddos announce what they wanted to be when they grow up after they got their diplomas. Here are a few of my favorites:

Professional Ice Skater

I don't know yet

and

Scuba Diver

As Miss Pulliam announced that she was going to have her students do this I wondered aloud what we would hear. Prince C and J both laughed and gave me a "who knows" kind of look....

As Ella pranced across the stage, we waited....She shook hands with Miss Pulliam, hugged her, and approached the mic.

"When I grow up, I want to be a scuba diver."

Awesome.

xxoo,

Frootie!

PS - Her boyfriend said he wants to be a scuba diver too.

American Girl Doll

Ella has been saving for an American Girl doll for quite a while.... When she graduated from Kindergarten last week, her Mommy ordered her one. So, in other words...Ella has over a hundred dollars to spend on something else.

While at her graduation dinner:

Frootie!: What are you going to name your American Girl Doll?

Ella: Addie Pulliam.

Frootie!: So, you want to name her your teacher's name?

Ella: Yep, I love Miss Pulliam.

*tear*

xxoo,

Frootie!

I can hear you

Tonight while eating dinner Ella burped really loud. Then Prince C burped really loud. They both looked at me : Your turn. No way. I was taught that burping at the dinner table was not a proper way of behaving. Then Prince C started whispering.

Prince C: You better get used to it. She *point point* will teach her *point point* how to do that too.

Frootie!: Ew, I hope not.

Ella: Um, I can hear you! Stop whispering.

Prince C: Ok, fine.

Ella: What'd you say?

xxoo,

Frootie!

Lemon Bars

Last night we made Lemon Bars.

Tonight Prince C gave a bite to Ella.

Ella: *good face - quickly to an awful face* Ew, I don't like this.

Prince C: Just finish it and swallow and you don't have to eat anymore. Do you not like Lemon stuff?

Ella: *shoulder shrug* I dunno.

Prince C leaves the room.

Frootie!: Ew, did you just drool on the couch?!?

Ella: Yes, by accident. That Lemon stuff was just so nasty.

Frootie!: Oh, well Ew! and keep your mouth shut.

Ella: But it was just so gross, like your giant boobies.

xxoo,

Frootie!

Free Willy

Ella: Today in the tub I am going to play Free Willy.

Prince C: That's Frootie!'s favorite game.

Frootie!: *gasp*

Prince C: tee hee. How do you play it?

Ella: I don't know. I just do.

later......

Frootie!: How was Free Willy? Did you free him?

Prince C: What kind of whale was it? A sperm whale?

Ella: No a killer whale. Duh.

xxoo,

Frootie!

Picking up the girl from Pappy and NayNay

On Friday Ella had Grandparent's Day at school. David and Donyah (her Mommy's parents) came to her school. After school they had the option to take the girl out for the day. Of course they wanted to. Here are the details I got from her on Saturday morning when I picked her up.

Frootie!: So, What did you do with Pappy and NayNay?

Ella: I dunno.

Frootie!: What did you have for dinner?

Ella: I dunno.

Frootie!: ok.

Ella: Well, we did have delicious orange jello.

Time passes.

Ella: Oh, did you know I am going to take riding lessons?

Frootie!: What like motorcycles?

Ella: No! Like horses.

Frootie!: Wow! I am afraid of horses.

Ella: Why?

Frootie!: Because they are big and scary.

Ella: Oh! Look at that house like The White House.

Frootie!: Yeah, Neat. So about those lessons....

Ella: Huh, oh yeah. Well, I don't need lessons. I know how to ride already. Get on. Hold tight. Tell it to go.

Ella: I want a black and white horse. Or just a white horse. That's my favorite color.

Frootie!: Yeah a black and white horse would be awesome. Or you could just ride Abbey. That would be safer.

Ella: Who's Abbey?

Frootie!: *laughing* OUR DOG.

Ella: Who? Dori?

Frootie: No Abbey, the giant black and white great dane.

Ella: Oh. I don't ride dogs.

xxoo,

Frootie!
