Lil' buddies

Ella and Cameron have been playing together since they were babies and they have the sweetest friendship. They are so fun to listen to and I usually have to bite my tongue to keep from laughing at them. For my BONKO friends, this months' BONKO gift (snow cone maker) made me super mom today! They each picked out 2 flavors for their snow cones and couldn't wait to get home and make them. It was so fun...we'll be having snow cones all summer! Aside from that, here are just a couple of the things I heard Ella tell Cameron today:

After Cameron leaned over and kissed Ella, she said "Please don't kiss me on the lips. Those are special kisses I only give my mommy and daddy and that I'll give when I get married." (mom signs a sigh of relief and hope that she'll always save those special kisses!)
Cameron: Ok, I'll kiss you on the cheek. (Ella leans over so he can do so).

When we started making snow cones and they were trying to decide who would get theirs first, Ella tells Cameron, "Gentlemen always let ladies go first." Cameron said, "okay, you can have the first one."

Can you believe these things came out of the mouth of a 5 year old?! She's too young; it's going to give me a heart attack! When I was 5, I didn't know the first thing about any of that kind of stuff. But I'm also so proud of her. These comments remind me what a strong spirit she is and I hope she never settles for any boy that won't treat her like a lady, even if it's with her friends at the age of 5! I hope that she will always expect to be treated the very best, and always maintain that integrity.


I thought they were so sweet working together.


Every time I'd go to snap a picture, they would stop everything and smile. This picture below makes me laugh...in a round about way, it reminds me of Green Acres!
