Since we arrived here in the province Ella have seen things she never did see in the city. Like the bugs that keeps coming at night when the light was off; we have to attempt catching it a few times before dropping it on the chamber pot and the lizards that checks in our ceiling to wait for dinner. There was one night when a dragonfly was caught by two lizards…Ella was shouting and jumping in frenzy telling me to save the poor dragonfly. So I grabbed a hand towel and threw it up to the ceiling…the dragonfly fell and I scooped it to check. She has torn wing so I put it on the window so she could fly if she can (Ella told me it was a girl!).
Still disappointed to what she have seen, Ella was asking me that same night why the lizard don’t fell from the ceiling. I said it was how God made them…..hoping she won’t ask for a scientific explanation which I have yet to find in the internet in case she’d ask again.
Tonight, as Donald was off to dreamland, Ella was still trying to get my attention by asking questions out of nowhere….telling me stories about what she did at the neighbor’s house…this and that…I tried to look interested and keep switching my eyes from her and my pc. I told her to go to sleep since it’s almost 10pm, and she said: “Mommy, please lay beside me just for 2 days only…..” 
She might want to say 2 minutes? LOL So I crawled to bed and as I was stroking her hair, she screamed and jumped in fear. A lizard feel from the ceiling right to where she was! I tried to calm her down and she said : “Oh Mommy, the lizard has no more glue on his feet and hands….that’s why he fell…..” Now that answered her own question… LOL

Poor Ella!!… I freak out if there is a BUG in the house… But a LIZARD. I think I would DIE.
Oh, and that constant talking/question thing? It doesn’t end. *lol* … Jared is 10 and still going strong… My problem is that his questions are getting really hard to answer!!! He no longer accepts generic answers. *lol*
