Wordle

As seen on Laura's blog, there is a site that takes the most common words from your blog and makes a graphic. Uhmm...maybe a little too much Ella going on? Or rather, not enough of the other two. I can't find Tyler's name in this at all! I have a feeling it may only use the information on the first page of your blog, because most of the words were unique to my most recent posts. Anyway, it is fun and cute! It is called Wordle If you click on the picture it will take you to the site and a bigger version.

School Lessons


We went to visit a preschool yesterday and learned a few things.

After seeing the classrooms, I learned that my house isn't nearly as cluttered as I thought it was. (I know, not a good sign).

Hopefully, the staff learned that it isn't a good idea to put the snack out before saying goodbye to your guests and not offering any to them. (little chocolate donuts and Apple juice, if you know Ella, you know those snacks are like winning the lottery)

I thought the lessons ended there, but later Ella shared a lesson of her own. When we were discussing cleaning up toys before dinner, Ella began saying, "Its not fair that people clean their toys." I had never heard anyone in our house use the term, "it is not fair" so I asker her where she learned it. She replied, in that little matter of fact manner that she has, "I learned it in school today."

Great.

I Wear my Sunglasses



Some toys just stick around. These glasses are a staple around here, they even survived the move. They all take turns wearing them, even though there are other pairs in other colors. Right now they are Tyler's obsessions.

That was Ella at about 10 months. With the pictures lined up like that, they look more alike than usual. Same head shape, nose, and smile. Same cuteness.

I mean, who doesn't love red sunglasses?
