First Steps

Ella let go! A few wobbly steps and a confident kerplunk...Ella is learning to get up and keep trying. She may be going to bed with a sore keister but it is a hard earned badge of honor. Broad smiles (Ella) and rigorous clapping (Mommy and Daddy) were abundant this evening. Wondering if tomorrow she'll feel like giving it another go.

On another note...
Ella's daycare, Concordia University, continues to report a healthy appetite.
Concordia Teacher: "Ella really enjoyed the vanilla pudding, wafers and Nutrigrain bars."
Sarah: Feigning approval "Oh, really...she usually prefers the veggie burgers at home."
Concordia Teacher: (Snickers to herself)
Sarah: (Total dejection)
Damn. Can't keep my little cage-free girl in a bubble her whole life. Wish I could. Today vanilla pudding, tomorrow Kool-aid and processed meats, next thing you know my impressionable girl is smoking cigarettes behind the school after detention...slippery slope.
