"Big Girl!"

It is so weird to see Elle fully-functional. She is only 2 1/2 and she acts like a teenager. She says "I want to watch Full House!" and she has opinions about what matches and what doesn't in her wardrobe. Elle uses words like "inevitable" and "frustrated" and she rides her bike up and down the street crazy fast. She drinks coffee in the morning with her mommy. I know lots of parents say this, but it really does seem like it was just yesterday that I was taking her home from the hospital, with Grant driving 35 mph down Bunker. She has grown up so much. In a few months, we will hopefully be going to Thailand. In September we will be moving to Weyerhaeuser, Wisconsin. She will be facing so many different situations with so many different people. It will be so cool to see how she can even change peoples lives that are older than her.. We'll see how the next year changes things...

So many different things could happen. So many different situations. So many different roads to go. What should me and Ell do? Out-of-state school? Finish my degree in business? A full year of YWAM? I don't know what this year entails. We'll see how it unfolds!

Elle isn't a toddler anymore. She is like a mini-PERSON. It is so weird. She does grown-up things with her mom. She goes to grown-up places and has a grown-up attitude about most of it.

I am holding on to every second I have with her. Because the seconds seem like they are slipping away quicker than I want...
