Here are a few quotes from Eliana so far this year.  She cracks me up daily.

-"Mom, you're great."  (I beg to differ, but it was sweet to hear.)

-I was reading The Best Nest and came to the part where Mr. Bird is flying sadly around in a storm, thinking that Mrs. Bird had been eaten by a cat.  Suddenly he crashes into something.  (I meant to take a picture of the page, at Mike's mom's...shoot!)  The illustration is of Mr. Bird hitting something that you can't see, but what you do see is a bright yellow, comic-book like "crash" symbol.  She said,"It was a star!" indicating with her tone that it couldn't be more obvious.

-She finished her Chocolate Cheerios and said,"Mom, it's chocolate milk!" as she looked into her bowl.  I said,"You have chocolate milk?!"  She looked at me with her eyebrows raised, head tilted to the side, her explaining face, and said,"It got made from my Chocolate Cheerios." 

-After spending a couple of nights in our new house, and in her new (pink!) room, she looked at me and said contentedly,"This is just the house I wanted."

-In a conversation I could overhear between Eliana and Christian, she said,"You have to trust me.  Will you trust me?"

-Driving home in the car today, she just had socks on (no shoes).  I could see her face in the rear-view mirror and she looked pretty somber.  She said to me,"Mommy.  I am having some trouble with my socks."
