Big & Little

Part of parenting wouldn't be complete if your kids didn't embarrass you a little right?  So I have a great story for you!!!

Ellis has been going to pre-school and he likes to repeat things that he learns at home and other places.  We were at church and I was kind of zoning out not really paying attention to what Ellis was saying.  All the sudden he was pointing to things and saying something rather loud so I zoned back in.  

Two sisters were sitting in front of us and one is pretty small and petite and the other is well quite large.  (Someone Daniel would call in code a "Delores") haha So cute and nice but really just large.

I looked at Ellis and he is pointing back and forth saying "Big, little, big, little"  ahhhhh It finally struck me what he was doing so I slapped by hand across his mouth as fast as I could but he was still pointing.  This kid does not stop until you give him some recognition so I whispered "yes Ellis good job big and little now we have to be quiet".  Jace was dying and I don't think they noticed because they were talking to each other I hope!!!  

So good job Mrs. Walker, Ellis totally understands Big and Little

Successfull

Yay today we had a very successful day at the Dentist.  Both kids were cavity free and Ellis only cried at the end.  He will do anything for a pretty face.  He had a really cute dental assistant so he did really good until the scary dentist walked in.  hahaha  The dentist really isn't scary he was really nice to both kids and helped them feel very welcome and good about how they have been taking care of their teeth.  They even got to give the fish their food.

It helps Ellis so much to be prepared (like most anyone)  I showed him a lot of clips of children visiting the dentist and even though he kept saying " mommy no dentist" all morning he did a good job.  Thank goodness for youtube and a good sister.

She is such a good sister for this kid.  She knows that he is scared and has a hard time with new things so she volunteers to be the brave one and go first in everything.  She kept saying "See Ellis it isn't scary you can do it".  What a good supporter she is.  I am going to try and write her a letter to give here when she is older.  Telling her what a good sister she is to Ellis and how much she helps him.
