I really want to buy this for Ella.
But I won’t.
Partly because it’s not in the budget, but mostly because I know that Cooper would end up playing with it more, and I think that’d scar me…
Do they make a guitar with a truck or football on it?

Easter: Ella and Cooper in Yaya’s Garden
We stayed over at Jennie’s Mom & Dad (Yaya & Papa)’s house Saturday night which is just 1.5 miles from the church.
So I zipped back over to pick up Jennie and the kids between rehearsal and the first service and had a chance to snap a few pics in Yaya’s garden in the great morning light…
Ellasode: Working the Catwalk
Ella has long proven herself as a fashionista. That was evident very early.
She’s now taken it a step further…
Yesterday she moved the ottoman tables 90 degrees out from the couch to form her form her own personal catwalk.

Ellasode: New Car for my Birthday?
Today is my birthday, which apparently is of great concern to Ella.
Ella (in the backseat, with worry in her voice): “Daddy, you’re going to have to get a new car!
Me: “Really? Why?”
Ella: “Because when you have your Birthday you get bigger, and your head will bump the top of your car!”
I think she’s right…
… and this Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster is a sensible choice at only $495,000.
It’s reliable and safe, with 0-60 mph acceleration of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 206 mph.
And it’d be great for my growing head, thanks to its fully retractable top. The SLR Roadster offers open-air driving pleasure that’s practical for everyday use. Even with the top down, conversation is still possible at speeds well over 120 mph, thanks to its superior aeroacoustics.
So I could get Ella to school in a fraction of the time, and still have meaningful conversation… 
Ellasode: Too Much Play…
Children – consider this a friendly warning…
Too much of this:
Can lead to this:
And then your parents will be forced to enjoy a quiet, peaceful car ride.
So just say “no” to playgrounds!
my gang…
