Avali
And Avali has decided that, “Mom you can call the baby sister Lydia if you want to, but I’M calling her Sophie!” I guess it’s better than Mariposa like she was talking before! 5/11/09

Ella
At the grocery store I was mocking Ella about her pronunciation of wall-er-melon and she said to me, “Mom you’re such a character!” 5/7/09
At preschool screening today with Ella, the teacher asks, “What do skunks do?” (With an upturned nose) and Ella replies without a single hesitation, “Fart green farts” Of course!! Not surprised AT ALL!! 5/13/09
When Ella was told that the baby was going to be a baby boy, she refused to hear of it. No, it’s a baby sister. I want a baby sister! 5/22/09
When Ella finally realized that we were serious and it really is a baby boy, she broke down in tears. I wanted to pick a sister! Daddy got to pick a boy and I wanted to pick a girl She thinks that since Daddy told her what it is, Daddy was the one that got to pick. We turned the blame around though, and just explained the God is the one that gets to pick and he wants Cooper to have a brother! 5/23/09
Cooper
Coopie peed on the potty for the first time on April 21st! Yay big boy! 4/21/09
Coop was trying to get Ella’s attention, and she was not listening. So he yelled for her, “ELLA!!!” and then with a sassy stance and some big attitude, “ELLA BROOKE!!!!” It was quite amusing to say the least!
