All of us ( minus EG ) were sleeping in our bed when I heard chairs scooting around in the kitchen. Eventually I made my way out to see what was going on, to find our big 5 year old Ella Grace putting on the finishing touches of making her daddy and I breakfast! Yup, she managed to pour a gallon jug of milk. Daddy got a tall glass filled to the brim of milk and mommy got a juice glass filled to the brim. She did not spill a drop.
She made us each a peanut butter and honey sammy with a bananna on the side. Ella said that we needed to drink milk instead of coffee because she wants us to have strong bones.
She then proceeded to make herself and her sissy breakfast as well, Maya got rice krispies in a cup sans milk with a spoon and a golden delicious apple (mommy sliced it) but Ella fetched and washed it.
She got out our huge cannister (sams club) of Nesquick chocolate powder and made herself a glass of chocolate milk and a bowl of cookie crisp cereal with milk!
My baby has done growed up! Daddy and I are sooooooooo proud of her!! She won't be able to use the 'I can't' excuse ever again, because she did such an awesome job at showing her thoughtfulness and maturity today, I know that in all things SHE CAN!!
