Tonight, Ella and Olivia stayed at a friends house while Sutton Grace and I went to a baby shower. After picking them up, we came inside to take a bath. Ella told me, "Mommy, if I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone?" I asked her what it was. She said, "Never mind" and left the bathroom. I was in the middle of bathing Sutton Grace, when she came back in and with a big sigh, she said, "Ok, I will tell you." Trying really hard to hold back tears, she said, "Tonight, I had so much fun without you." And poor baby burst into tears!! I laughed. I told her it was ok that she had fun without me. I am not sure what was going through her head, maybe she thought I would be mad?? I don't know. It was funny, sweet and sad all at the same time.

A Promise Not Kept
I am not keeping a promise, well actually, I didn't promise anything...I never said, "I promise." You will see why I couldn't keep my promise I didn't make.

Ella told me, "Mommy, if I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone?" I asked her what it was. She said, "Never mind" and left the bathroom.

love the photo, as twisted as that might be. It captures Ella beautifully in a very vulnerable way. So sweet! I can understand why you laughed though...
It is one of my favorites too. I took it awhile ago. She cries a lot, but she is also very sensitive.
that is so sweet! she loves you so much:).
I just bursted into tears... that is so sweet that she wanted to tell you, but was so scared at the same time. She felt bad for having fun without you, awe... Sarah she's so sweet and sensitive!
I so enjoy reading your blogs Sarah! Please give the girls hugs from me. Love you!
