Some observations and reflection about Ella over the past 9 years,

Journaling:
Still she sorts, stuffs and saves _ coupons, money, tupperware, food...I have never known a baby create such a mess. She leaved disaster in her every wake and now looking at her room the disorganized chaos is just who she is. Still she scares easily ~ it used to be grass; now its monsters in the dark. Still shes easy going ~ She could occupy herself for hours and still can. She is of easy going temperament, so much so she drives me crazy with her more laid back approach to life. Still she has the large Aspnes head with Day forehead. Adult-sized in fact and bigger than mine ~ Wish shed use that big brain to listen to us more often. Still she ikes her food ~ Thankfully not as much as she used to ~ No longerr does she rub it all over her body but now wears it seemingly permanently around her mouth. Will she ever grow out of this? Still learning about this fascinating girl. Photos: June 2003 and Dec 2011 Filed: Jan 2012
