Love and Marriage

The other day we were at a playground and some of the older girls Ella walked by were talking about getting married. Ella looked at them and said, "I'm going to marry my "bruh-der" (Ella's pronunciation of brother) Bradley."One of the gir;'s looked back at Ella and quickly said with a sassy attitude, "you can't marry your brother"! Ella stood there stunned for a second and said, "Yes, I can...I can marry my bruh-der if I want to.........right mom?" She turned and looked to me for reassurance that she was right and had the cutest little "please don't break my heart" look on her face. I told her she could pretend to marry her brother anytime she wanted.

It's funny how well Ella and Bradley get a long (most of the time). Lately Ella really wants Bradley to pretend he is a prince and to dance her around the toy room! Thankfully Ella doesn't realize that Bradley just likes to hold hands, pull each other around and fall down together and that he isn't really dancing with her at a pretend ball!

I can only hope that one day Ella will find a prince that makes her smile and laugh like her brother does!!!
