June 30, 2013: Piggy gets these things, too

I have a best friend, Laura.  She came to every doctor's appointment with me when I was pregnant with Ella.  She was there when the kid was born.  She cut the cord.  She's been Ella's other mom since before she was even a possibility, let alone a reality.
She has a nickname, Piggy.  It's a long story.
Anyway, Ella sometimes spends a day with Piggy.  They go to movies, they go to amusement parks, they hang out at her house, they do all sorts of things.
Laura will often text me things Ella has said when they're hanging out.  Here are a couple of them:

On the phone, discussing their plans for the day:
"Yay, I love coming to your house because it smells like piano"

While out at the mall, standing in the sweet shop:
Piggy: Okay, it's a fan with candy.  What would your mom and I call it?
Ella: A fandy!

(Piggy and I like combining words to eliminate redundant syllables.  The best one I've come up with recently is trombone + ownership = trombownership.)

I also often get pictures like these:

This is one of my favorite pictures. Also, the fact that we've made it through that candy store four times now without buying anything is either a testament to my auntie powers or (more likely) Ella's awesomeness.
