Ella and I have been working on learning to read. We are making an alphabet book with a page for each letter. Here are some of the interesting things she has drawn for each page:
Letter B: a demon fish (for those of you without big brothers, this is half fish/half man with scary teeth)
Me: "Ella, demon fish doesn't start with B." (Things only parents get to say, right?)
Ella: "Yes it does, buh, buh, demon fish. Plus, I really like to draw scary fish."
Letter C: a bunny
Me: "What is this?"
Ella: "A bunny."
Me: "Bunny doesn't start with C."
Ella: "Oh fine, it's a cat."
Letter D: a lion
Ella: "Do you like my lion?"
Me: "Yes, but lion doesn't start with D." (are you noticing a pattern here?)
Ella: "Um, there's a DUCK jumping OVER the lion."
Of course there is, what was I thinking?
"But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure." Psalm 71:14-15
