Unforgetables

Elli, "Mommy what will Fergi do if we all die and Gonga and Papa die and they can't watch her?"
Me, "Well, Elli, Fergi will not live forever. Dogs die like people do."
Elli, "You mean on their side like this?" (She layed down on her side and stuck her tongue out.)
Me, "It is possible, but let's pray that we all live together for a long time until God says it is time to go to heaven."

On the news we heard it was going to rain in the west, Elli said, "But not in our world, right mommy?"

While eating tuna fish, Elli says to me. "Oh no. My throw hurts. It must be the tuna tail stuck in there."

After picking Elli up from preschool the other day, she says to me, "I had a good day at school. My friend didn't lick me. We have a licker but she didn't lick me, only other people."

And finally, for this post that is, I want to leave you with something that I love about Elli. I love when she wakes up from her nap, comes downstairs all sticky, stinky, and sweaty and asks, "mommy, can I have a sweet?" I will miss these days when she outgrows them and want to record as many of these precious memories as I can.
