She really wants a dog.

Yesterday Ella and I went to Coborns after school. She always spots dogs in cars and points them out. She would give anything for a dog, we wouldn't. She loves Tash, her grandparent's dog. She saw this big brown dog in a car barking and says "Mom, if you don't want the baby anymore, then we can get a dog, right?" I explained to her that it's a little too late for that, and we are keeping the baby. Some of you might remember, Trevor and I tried the new puppy thing for about one week, then when the dog had too many health issues, Trevor took her back. Maybe some day when the kids are older and I don't have a husband who coaches for sports a year, we may try a dog.
