Sadie-isms

The children are asleep and I assume Steven is too since he never resurfaced after putting Sadie to bed. I will eventually go get him but he must be exhausted to have fallen asleep in his normal prime working time. Now I'm siting in his quiet office and spent way too much time on Facebook, so I decided to write a quick blog and then go to bed. No pictures tonight but I thought I'd record some of Sadie's latest funnies.
-We were driving in the car when she told one of our friends that "Sometimes, cows poop and dey don't wipe themselves" (an observation she made with her Grandpa, I believe).
-She has learned to "blow like a deer" as she and her Daddy crawl around the floor pretending to be "sawn deers and doe deers and buck deers" ("S" for "F" in Sadie language). I dread the day when she discovers what hunting is all about and why Daddy is always looking for them in the fields.
-"Go to da left and go to da right" whenever we are driving, the first time was on a beltline around Atlanta when Steven and I were trying to get to Hilton Head, Sadie pipes in with her directions. It's always the same.
-I asked Sadie if she heard Eli crying on the monitor while he was napping in his crib. A few minutes went by and I couldn't find her. I went upstairs and she is sitting IN his crib. She's answers "Eli's awake!" I couldn't fuss at her for waking him up because he was having a ball with her in the crib. Just hope it doesn't happen in the middle of the night!
-Steven as since corrected her (much to my dismay) but for a while she would ask for "Lucky Arms" for breakfast, this is also revealing my bad parenting I realize....
This is all I can think of for now. Thank the Lord for children and the many laughs they provide!
Goodnight!

Needed

I have always liked to feel needed, and I certainly felt that this week. My 2 year old and 3 month old are always quite needy; I must immediately (and exactly on the right spot) kiss Sadie's injuries, she is not completely potty trained, she wont eat much unless I make her, and Eli is still pretty much completely helpless. You would think this would be enough for me, however, this week I was especially in demand. Every 6 months, you see, I travel with Steven to Reidsville where we go to the much dreaded dentist. He will not go alone. He also will not come back for a filling so when he comes for a cleaning they make him stay to take care of it. I had just finished with my cleaning and went in to check on him as I knew he was having the cavity filled. He had already been numbed but the drill was just starting up. I walked in to hold his hand because at this point he turns from a professional, strong, manly man into a scared little boy. Sure enough he held tight and as I stood there comforting him I was fulfilled to think that my husband also needs me. Maybe it's just nice to think, even if it's not true, that your loved ones just can't make it without you. I am thankful that for now, the Lord has entrusted my dear husband and children into my care, and I pray that I do a job well done.
