She made a poem with my name, and drew a picture of me with brown hair. This is important because it marks the first time she’s drawn me with brown hair – she usually draws me with blonde. I thought it was a phase and I waited for this “wishing mommy was a blonde” thing to pass but it didn’t. So Fiona and I did an intervention on her one day. Fi said, “Do you realize that Mommy has brown hair, not blonde?” and she kept drawing me with the long flowy mermaid hair for a few more pictures…until today. (-:
Also important to note: I am not Irish.
A Mother’s Day Poem
by Ella, age 7
















Awwwww!! Happy Mother’s Day, Ado. xo
I love it, Ado. Happy Mother’s Day! I got a couple of these from my 8-year-old that I plan to post tomorrow
I love that she thinks you’re an ally.
I like that too! The other day she asked, “What’s an ally?” and I said, “It’s a friend.”
Now I know why she was asking. (-:
How sweet. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. We call our little one Ally!!!
Look at that beautiful cursive!
Everyone loves what you guys are usually up too. This sort of clever work and coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I’ve you guys to my blogroll.
First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thanks!
