Interview with Ellie

Questions for Ellie....

 How old are you?
I turned 15 months old on 1/4/14



What's your favorite food?
num num num give me sweet potatoes, finger foods, fruit (especially strawberries), applesauce, puffs, and spaghetti

What's your favorite thing to do?
sleep, but if I'm not sleeping I like to hold your hands and have you help me walk.  I'm also getting better at playing make believe.  I like to hold toys and have them "talk."  I also know who has a smartphone.

Who do you like to spend time with?
My daddy makes me the happiest person ever.  I smile and get all giddy when I get to see him.  I pick him over Mommy all the time.  But I want my mommy when Daddy is gone or if I'm tired, because that means I get Mommy's milk.  Grandma and Grandpa are pretty special too.  Grandparents are great, because I can get them to do anything....like tonight I had Grandpa walk laps with me (holding my hands) around the house.  I also like my relatives.  My aunts, uncles, and cousins are fun.  They are filled with energy and love.

What are your favorite words to say?
"no-no-no" I use this a lot because I know it lets people know I don't agree with the situation.  sometimes I like to feed myself and for some odd reason they think I can't feed myself.
"Mommy" or "Mom-ma" It lets my Momma know I want to nurse.
"Ball" I like playing with my new Christmas toys.
"Abby" My grandparents dog is pretty silly.  I get annoyed with all her barking though.  It catches me off guard, but Mommy is my life saver and lets me know I'm safe.
"Daddy" I use this word more often then Mommy.  He is the best!  He stops eating his supper (which Mommy says is his first meal of the day sometimes) and he'll take care of me.  When he's gone during the week he can't wait to see me!  Sometimes he even walks past Mommy to see me!  I'm the cute one. :)

 What's your favorite memory?
I have plenty!  The first day Mommy and Daddy brought me home, Daddy warmed my bouncy seat so it wouldn't be cold.  The apartment was freezing!  There was also those few nights I got to cuddle in bed with Mommy and Daddy because I didn't know what bedtime meant.  (Now I know.)  I also like to see people's reaction when I giggle.  Apparently it's the cutest thing ever, or at least that's what I hear them say all the time.  I also like it when Mommy and Daddy play games with me.  We like to play catch, or Daddy puts me on his shoulders and we play chase with Mommy!  I laugh so hard, it's so much fun!

What is your greatest fear?
Letting go to walk.  I just can't do it.  Some day it might not be so scary, but for now the thought of letting go is just too scary.  I hold on to people's hands and let them know I want them to help me walk laps.  Or some times I walk furniture to get what I want, but I always crawl.  I'm fast, so why try to walk which seems so slow?

While I'm asking you these questions you are playing with a napkin.  
I like the simple things in life.  All these toys scattered around are just things.  But a napkin.  I've had fun cleaning the table so far....and now ripping the napkin into a thousand pieces.  But Mommy says "whatever keeps me happy."  Isn't that so nice of her?

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

Image
  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Every Voice Matters

Image
  I was raised in a household where my voice wasn't heard.  My opinions didn't matter, and my questions were not respected.  The space around me was filled with chaos and noise that didn't make sense to me.  I was surrounded by dictatorship in my own home.  I had dominate people directing me and pushing me to do what they wanted me to do.  Meanwhile a few of us sitting back in agony and confusion of why this was able to occur.  This led to my silence, social anxiety, and self doubt.  The voice inside my head never stops.  It takes on overwhelming pressure to make decisions.  It's confusing when I make a boundary.  Growing up the boundaries were constantly broken, and yet I had no clue what was happening.  Especially because of the fact I didn't know boundaries existed.  The voice inside my head wanted to scream and run and yet I had nothing to say that would make them listen. The lack of confidence in every thing I do is portrayed by my ability to fill my living spa

Blog Party! :)

Image
Through Facebook I have found some more lovely blogs that I love to browse! :)  The ones with stories about their kiddos are fun and inspiring.  I also enjoy reading recipes and I'm thankful for those people out there showing me what to do in the kitchen!  I'm newly married (June 12, 2010) and figuring this all out.  I never enjoyed being in the kitchen that much growing up.  I was in charge of washing dishes, and looking at all those dishes being used........so I never spent a lot of time learning how to do things.  Now I regret it daily. But back to the Blog Party!  I'm a little late but now I'm healthy enough to answer the questions!! To start off, here's a little bit about myself.  I turn 23 on May 5th.  I share a birthday with my big sister and she will be thankful if I don't say how old she is turning (shh! we're seven years apart).  I posted not that long ago a list of 100 random things about me, so go read that if you're desperately wondering.
