7

I can't believe Ella is 7!  I don't know what I'd do without my tiny shadow.  Seriously.  She is the only one of my kids that hands down prefers me over Andy.  She is such a sweetheart and loves hugs and cuddles.  I think she requires 37 hugs/cuddles a day or her heart feels broken.  Such a sensitive soul.  She is my girlie girl and loves to have her hair and nails done and wears skirts and dresses every single day.  It's so much fun!  She requires more sleep than the rest of us.  She's the first one to go to bed and the last one up.  I have to wake her up every morning but she wakes up bright eyed and ready to go.  I call her my sleeping beauty because she doesn't move while she sleeps so she wakes up and her hair looks perfect!  She is a peacemaker, a good friend, and a great sister.  She has a calm personality and is very obedient.  She's heartbroken if she gets in trouble so she makes sure to follow the rules.  She rarely goes and plays with friends.  She prefers to play with Lily or me.  I'll enjoy it while I can because I know it won't last forever.  She loves to be a big helper!  She's working on her aerial in gymnastics and almost has it.  Ella is one determined little girl and she can be a firecracker sometimes.  She is an amazing reader and speller.  She was so excited to turn 7 and has been counting down the day for months.  We'll celebrate her birthday sometime tonight when Andy gets home from work and before he leaves to go to the house.  She wants pancakes for dinner and chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and pink sprinkles.  We got her a "skip it" for her present.  Oh how I love my Little Miss Ella Bella!
