I am smarter than YOU!

It's been a long time since I have "blogged." Something keeps coming up in my conversations with Ella that I feel there is a little birdie telling me-"you need to blog, Jen."

"Mom, I am smarter than you!" Of course, I say, "Oh really?" Ella proceeds to tell me that she is smarter than me because she knows that "crabs have eight legs!" Well, this has been a recurring conversation for almost 6 months now. Aaron and I took a mini-vacation to San Franscisco for our 10 year anniversary. We returned and were showing Ella our pictures of the ocean and all the ocean life we had seen. She was so intrigued, the poor girl has never been to the ocean. Ever since she saw the picture of the 'washed-up crab' and his missing legs---she is smarter than me! Ha. Little girl doesn't realize that I am the smartest of all...I know more....and as I often tell her, I have eyes in the back of my head! (Which I believe she is starting to BELIEVE!).

Sadly, there are so many more wonderful things my child has said over the last year. I have been quite busy as we have dealt with unemployment, extra jobs, crazy schedules, and of course--life. I haven't made resolutions for the New Year, but I definitely hope that my new position this year will yield me some time to blog more.
