Eliana tells me that everything is "great."
"That would be great, mommy!" she says when I suggest we make cookies. Or go for a walk. Or wipe Parker's nose. Everything is great. And she's right.
She's growing up so fast and she's just so darn smart. She's compassionate and sensitive and funny. As a little girl who is named Eliana....but frequently gets called "Ellie," she thinks that any name can just add "ana" onto the end when you're being serious. She calls me "Mommyana" when I'm not paying close enough attention. And when she's missing Daddy after too-long a day at work she asks when "Daddyana" will be home. It made me cry the first time she said it, I laughed so hard.
And she's taking very well to this "big sister" thing especially now that she can play with and help take care of Parker on a whole new big-kid level.
And Parker is SO close to walking. He's a mobile little monkey. And his smiles and his snuggles are just about the sweetest thing on the face of this earth. Derrick wants to bottle them and sell them and make us a million dollars.
Slowly but surely we're working on our house in preparation of trying to sell the ole girl and upgrade just a tiny bit. It's funny to see your home through another's (a buyers?) eyes. All the little fix-ups will help. And if it doesn't sell, I'll just love our little home even more.
Everything is great.
