raising kids right

the other day ellie did something that made my heart leap for joy. It's the kind of stuff that every parent hopes for out of their kid...it just makes all the hard work worth while.

jocelyn was at a wedding shower and took aria, so it was just me and ellie. Seizing the opportunity to spend some time with her i thought we could go grab some food somewhere AWAY from home. So i ask her, "ellie where do you want to eat tonight?" and her answer? makes me wanna cry... she looks back at me and with big eyes and excitement coursing through her body and says, "CHIPOTLE!!" man, makes me so proud. (BTW, she loves going to coffee shops too... here's a recent pic of yet another chipotle visit followed up by starbucks next door. the adorable redhead is Berkley, daughter of our friends Jason and Julie)
