So sleepy

On Thursday, Nick put Ella in her highchair to have lunch, he walked into the other room for a minute, and was curious because Ella was being so quiet in the kitchen, which is not like Ella lately. He walked back into the kitchen, and this is how he found her...

Apparently Princess was exhausted from running around doing and saying everything her big brother says and does. She is like a little parrot lately, and she loves to be with her big brother. Sometimes it drives Jax nuts because she repeats everything he says and has to do everything he does, but for the most part, he loves his little sister and he loves it that she looks up to him so much and wants to be with him so much. Sometimes when we are driving in the car Ella will say the same thing to Jaxson over and over again, Jax will play along until about the tenth time she says it and then he will say "ELLLAAAA, I don't want to keep saying the same thing over and over again!" She even has to sit at the counter and pretend she is doing her homework when   Jax is doing his. She is getting so big and she is so much fun.

 Of course after she had fallen asleep in the highchair for a few minutes, her princess batteries were fully recharged and she had very little interest in taking a "nappy time in Ella's bed." However she didn't have a choice in this matter, and after singing and jabbering in her room for 20 minutes, she finally gave in and fell asleep.

Kindergarten update

After many tears and many days of taking Jax to Kindergarten and having him hang on my arm and cry because he didn't want to be there, Jax now LOVES Kindergarten! He is excited to go every morning, he loves his teacher and he has made a lot of knew friends. One night, while he was still not liking school, he said "Mommy, do you think dat I could ask my Heavenly Father to help me to be a brave boy at Kindergarten, and to make me feel better when I get sad because I miss you while I'm there?" Talk about breaking Mommy's heart! We would also put special kisses from Mommy in his pocket and in his hand before he would go every morning, I would kiss his hand a bunch of times and then that way he had some for when he got sad. Guess what? He doesn't need the special kisses anymore, which is bittersweet for me. But I do love that he is loving school. In fact, he is loving it so much that he is rather upset that it is UEA weekend and that he had thursday and friday off and also has monday off. Everyday he asks me how many more days it will be until he gets to go back to school, he is literally counting down the days! It makes me feel good when I drop him off at school knowing that he is so happy, instead of sad. Such a big boy!!
